Is the Electronic Annual Inspection Label Recognized by Traffic Police?
2 Answers
The electronic annual inspection label is recognized by traffic police. On June 20th, the nationwide implementation of electronic annual inspection labels was fully rolled out. After passing the annual inspection, vehicle owners will receive an electronic label. During inspections, only the electronic annual inspection label needs to be presented, eliminating the need to stick a paper label on the windshield. Below are the methods to present the electronic annual inspection label: 1. Online Presentation: When traffic police request to check the electronic annual inspection label, you can directly open the Traffic Management 12123 APP for online presentation. 2. Offline Presentation: During a traffic stop, you can present a screenshot of the label. 3. Printed Presentation: You can also print the electronic annual inspection label by saving a screenshot of the QR code and carrying it with the vehicle for immediate use when needed. All methods are equally valid.
Last year, I learned that the electronic annual inspection label is now fully recognized by traffic police, as it's a new regulation promoted by the government. By registering and binding your vehicle through the Traffic Management 12123 App, the annual inspection information will update automatically. During a vehicle check, simply open the app and show it to the traffic police—scanning the QR code is equivalent to presenting a paper label. However, make sure the app is logged in properly, and avoid situations where your phone is out of battery or has poor signal. I’ve personally seen traffic police use this method for quick verification on the road, saving everyone the hassle of sticking labels. The policy encourages digitization, which not only prevents counterfeiting but is also eco-friendly. Remember to regularly check for app updates to avoid penalties due to unnoticed expirations. Overall, it’s quite convenient.
