Is the driving license not replaced during the 6-year exemption from inspection?
2 Answers
During the 6-year exemption from inspection, the driving license does not need to be replaced. Only the inspection qualification label needs to be obtained, and the supplementary page of the driving license does not require endorsement or stamping. According to legal provisions, for non-operational passenger cars and other small and mini passenger vehicles registered within 6 years, when a biennial regular inspection is required, the vehicle owner can directly apply to the traffic management department of the public security authority for the inspection label by providing the compulsory traffic accident liability insurance certificate and the vehicle and vessel tax payment or exemption certificate. Exemption inspection process: 1. Bring your ID card to the business hall of the vehicle management office to fill out the application form, then take a number; 2. When your number is called, proceed to the corresponding business window for processing, present your ID card, and submit the form to the staff for verification; 3. After approval, the annual inspection qualification label will be issued.
As an ordinary person who drives frequently, I can tell you that new vehicles enjoy a 6-year exemption from on-site inspection. However, the vehicle license still needs to be replaced because it has an inspection validity period that must be updated to remain valid. Last year, when my car reached the exemption period, I went to the local DMV to replace it—just needed my ID and vehicle registration certificate, and the process was smooth. If you don’t replace the vehicle license, you could be fined if checked after the validity expires, which would be troublesome. It’s best to regularly check the validity of your vehicle documents and not wait until something goes wrong. Remember, this policy saves you the hassle of inspections, but the steps to update your documents are still necessary.
