Is the Annual Inspection and Annual Review Conducted at the Same Location?

They can be conducted at the same vehicle management office. Below is relevant information about vehicle management offices: 1. Definition: A vehicle management office is a direct institution under the public security system, primarily responsible for handling vehicle registration, modification, transfer, mortgage, and deregistration. These offices are generally found in county-level or higher administrative regions. 2. Position Supervision: Each vehicle and driver's license service position within the vehicle management office has the obligation to supervise the work of the previous position. If any issues are found, such as questionable procedures handed over from the previous position, violations in processing services, or non-standard filling of certificates and forms, or failure to sign and stamp as required, they should be reported to the supervisory position. The supervisory position should immediately investigate and handle the issue, and keep a record of the handling process.

I've been driving for over a decade, so I know for sure that annual vehicle inspection and driver's license review aren't done at the same place. The annual vehicle inspection refers to the yearly safety check of your car, testing things like brake lights and emissions – you have to go to specialized motor vehicle inspection stations. Like that testing center in the west of our city where queues often take half a day. As for the annual review, that usually means the yearly verification of your driver's license, especially if you drive heavy vehicles with Class A or B licenses – you need to handle that at the local DMV, sometimes requiring classes or medical checkups. Last month I saw a newbie make the mistake of going to the inspection station for license matters and wasting a trip. Actually, some big cities now have DMV service stations set up next to inspection centers, but most places still keep them separate. My advice is to check the official app or call ahead before going, to avoid unnecessary trips and wasted gas.

As an ordinary car owner, I can tell you that annual vehicle inspection and driver's license review are definitely not handled at the same place. The annual vehicle inspection involves comprehensive testing at an inspection station to check if lights and emissions meet standards. The driver's license review mostly refers to license verification at the DMV, such as updating information or attending training sessions. Last year when I went through the process, I found they were separate—the inspection station was in the southern part of the city while the DMV was downtown, making it quite a hassle to go back and forth. Fortunately, some cities now offer one-stop service points, but it's still important to understand the distinction. Before going, it's safest to check local policies online to save time, effort, and money.

I just started learning to drive and also asked this question: Annual inspection is conducted by vehicle inspection stations specifically to check the car, while annual review is managed by the DMV for driver's license verification. These two do not overlap. Simply put, vehicle inspection checks the safety condition of the car, and driver's license review is for maintaining driving qualifications. For example, my uncle with a Class A license goes to the DMV every year for this. So don't confuse the two to avoid mistakes and wasting time.
