Is it true that new vehicles exempt from annual inspection within 6 years also don't need to replace the driving license?

6-year exemption from inspection does not require replacing the driving license. Here is additional information: Exemption process: Bring your ID card to the service hall of the vehicle management office to fill out an application form, then queue for a number; when your number is called, proceed to the corresponding service window, present your ID card, and submit the form to the staff for verification; upon approval, the annual inspection compliance label will be issued. On-site inspection process: Bring the required documents to the motor vehicle inspection agency to obtain the annual inspection form and have it stamped; take the annual inspection form to the motor vehicle inspection point for vehicle on-site inspection; after passing the inspection, bring the annual inspection form, driving license, inspection results form, and vehicle inspection certificate to the vehicle management office to obtain the motor vehicle inspection compliance label, and have the new inspection validity date stamped on the supplementary page of the driving license.
Let me explain this in detail. The 6-year exemption from annual vehicle inspection for new cars actually means you don't need to queue up at the inspection station for an on-site test every year, but you still have to apply for an inspection compliance sticker every two years. At this time, your vehicle license also needs to be updated because there's an inspection validity period on the supplementary page of the license, and the DMV will print a new date on this page. Last year when I helped my younger brother with this, we brought his ID card, vehicle license, and compulsory traffic insurance policy, and it was done at the counter in just ten minutes. If you find it troublesome, you can now apply online using the Traffic Management 12123 app. After the new sticker is delivered to your home, remember to have the supplementary page of your vehicle license updated with the new date. So while the inspection process is saved, the license renewal procedure is unavoidable.
