Is it still necessary to display the compulsory insurance label?

It is mandatory to display the compulsory insurance label on the vehicle. According to relevant regulations: If a motor vehicle driven on the road does not display the insurance label, the traffic management department of the public security organ shall detain the vehicle, notify the party to provide the insurance label or complete the corresponding procedures, and may issue a warning or impose a certain fine. If the insurance label is forged, altered, or if a forged or altered insurance label is used, or if the insurance label of another motor vehicle is used, the traffic management department of the public security organ shall confiscate it, detain the vehicle, and impose a certain fine; if a crime is constituted, criminal responsibility shall be pursued according to law. If the compulsory insurance label is lost, you can bring your ID card, vehicle license, relevant vehicle purchase documents, and proof of compulsory insurance purchase to the business department of the insurance company where you purchased the insurance to apply for a replacement compulsory insurance label.
As an enthusiast who frequently follows automotive policies, I believe that the compulsory insurance label is basically no longer required to be displayed. Since 2020, the nationwide promotion of the electronic policy system allows car owners like me to directly view the electronic version of the label on mobile apps, and traffic police can also check it in real time via the license plate. This eliminates the hassle of replacing paper labels every year and reduces obstruction on the windshield, improving driving visibility and safety. However, I recommend carrying electronic documents or screenshots in remote areas in case of poor signal preventing access. Overall, it's progress, promoting environmental protection and efficiency. Just don’t forget to renew your insurance regularly.
