Is it still necessary to display the annual inspection sticker?

In 2020, electronic inspection labels were fully implemented to replace the paper version of the annual inspection qualification sticker. Electronic inspection labels hold the same legal validity as the paper version. In provinces and cities where electronic inspection labels have been implemented, the display of the physical inspection qualification sticker is no longer required. Below are the relevant details: 1. Regions without electronic labels: If electronic inspection labels have not been implemented in a region, the physical inspection qualification sticker must still be displayed. 2. Penalties: According to Article 13 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law," the motor vehicle inspection qualification sticker and insurance sticker should be affixed to the upper right corner of the vehicle's front windshield. Failure to display the relevant vehicle stickers 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 of 20 yuan will be imposed. If placed on the dashboard, a fine of 100 yuan will be imposed.

As a veteran driver with years of experience, I remember having to stick the annual inspection stickers on the windshield every year, which ended up cluttering the glass and affecting visibility while driving. Now, with policy changes, paper stickers are mostly unnecessary. Since 2020, electronic inspection stickers have been rolled out nationwide, which can be checked directly through the 12123 app—super convenient. I've checked mine several times; just download the app, bind your vehicle, and the electronic proof pops up with a single tap—no need to collect paper stickers anymore. The benefits are numerous: it's eco-friendly by reducing paper waste, and it's quick and convenient, eliminating fines for improperly affixed stickers. A reminder to fellow drivers: make sure to get your annual inspection done on time to avoid issues with driving safety or insurance claims. The digital age has truly brought progress—windshields are finally much cleaner.

As someone who pays attention to vehicle policies, I learned that the electronic reform of annual inspection labels was fully launched in 2020. The paper labels that used to be required are now mostly unnecessary. This change aims to reduce resource waste and improve efficiency, as electronic labels can be easily and efficiently checked through traffic apps. The benefits are obvious: avoiding windshield clutter, reducing pollution, and cutting labor costs. We just need to complete the annual inspection on time and keep the app updated to prevent any issues. These changes also reflect modernized management, ensuring safety and compliance. It is recommended that vehicle owners regularly check their vehicle status to avoid delays.

When I first bought my car, I was also worried about the annual inspection sticker, hearing it needed to be displayed but actually not required anymore. After the policy shifted to digitalization, I downloaded the 12123 App, entered my license plate number, and could see the electronic sticker—super easy to operate. This change gave me peace of mind, no longer worrying about where to stick it. The benefits include protecting privacy and saving time, with electronic proof available anytime. Just a reminder to everyone to get the annual inspection done on time, as traffic violations will still affect your record.
