Is it sufficient to apply for the inspection exemption mark for exempted vehicles on 12123?
2 Answers
Exempted vehicles can directly apply for the inspection exemption mark on 12123. Below are the specific functions of the electronic vehicle inspection mark: 1. Store vehicle-related information: Stores visual information related to the vehicle. Once popularized, it can record details of the annual inspection mark, environmental protection mark, and compulsory insurance mark, eliminating the hassle of tearing and pasting marks. 2. Anti-counterfeiting and fraud prevention: Prevents fake or cloned license plates and tracks the trajectories of suspected illegal vehicles. 3. Provides after-sales functions: Through certain software apps, users can recharge or bind bank cards to enable online payment for vehicle-related expenses, including parking, car washing, fuel costs, fine payments, and highway tolls, thereby building a comprehensive after-sales service information platform for car owners.
I've been driving for over a decade and am quite familiar with the exemption inspection decal application. Yes, you can directly apply for the exemption inspection decal using the 12123 App without having to queue at the DMV, which is very convenient. However, the prerequisite is that your vehicle meets the exemption conditions, such as being a small passenger car within the first 6 years of purchase, with no outstanding traffic violation records, and a valid insurance policy. I've operated it several times in the App: after logging in, click on the service option, upload photos of your ID and insurance certificate, submit, and wait a few days for approval, then the decal will be mailed to you. But be aware, if the vehicle age exceeds the limit or there are unresolved violations, the App will reject the application, and you'll need to handle it offline first. Now the policy has been relaxed, but I regularly check the vehicle's lights and tire safety, because exemption from inspection doesn't mean exemption from maintenance. Overall, the App is very convenient, and its high download volume proves that everyone likes it.
