Is it still necessary to display the annual inspection sticker?
1 Answers
In regions where electronic labels have been implemented, new vehicles are not required to display the annual inspection sticker. In 2020, electronic inspection labels were widely promoted to replace the paper version of the annual inspection certification. Electronic inspection labels hold the same legal validity as the paper version, and in provinces and cities where electronic annual inspection labels have been adopted, displaying the inspection certification is no longer mandatory. Regions without electronic labels: In areas where electronic inspection labels have not been implemented, it is still necessary to display the inspection certification sticker. Penalties for not displaying the inspection certification sticker: According to Article 13 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law": The motor vehicle inspection certification label and insurance label should be affixed to the upper right corner of the front windshield of the vehicle. Failing to display the relevant vehicle labels as required is a violation of the law. If the annual inspection sticker is not displayed, a penalty of 1 demerit point and a fine will be imposed. Placing the sticker on the dashboard will also result in a fine.
