Is the Vehicle Inspection Department Closed During National Day?
2 Answers
In general, vehicle annual inspections cannot be conducted in most places during National Day. However, some regions may offer inspection services during the holiday to accommodate working individuals. It is advisable to check with the local vehicle management office for specific arrangements. You will need to visit the local Vehicle Management Office and the vehicle inspection center for an online inspection. During the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day holidays, official business is usually suspended. If your vehicle inspection is due soon, it is recommended to plan ahead. Locations for Vehicle Inspection: Vehicle inspection requires visits to both the Vehicle Management Office and the inspection station. The Vehicle Management Office handles applications, replacements, renewals, and inspections of motor vehicle driver's licenses, as well as other related services for vehicles and drivers. The inspection station, on the other hand, conducts comprehensive performance tests on motor vehicles. While the two are related, their functions are distinct. Vehicles eligible for the exemption inspection label must meet the following conditions: Non-commercial passenger cars (including large passenger cars) and other small and mini passenger vehicles registered within 6 years; Excluding vans, 7-seater, and larger vehicles; Excluding vehicles that have not been registered for over 4 years since the date of manufacture.
As someone who frequently handles vehicle procedures for friends, I can say with certainty that vehicle inspection departments will definitely be closed during the National Day holiday. Like all government institutions, they follow the national statutory holidays and won't open at all during the seven-day holiday. I remember last year before National Day, my neighbor was in a hurry to get his vehicle inspected but delayed until October 3rd to go to the DMV, only to find it closed and get a notice posted. I suggest you get it done before September 20th, two weeks in advance is safest, otherwise you might queue all day. Actually, some inspection stations operate on weekends normally, so there's no need to rush before the long holiday. By the way, you can now check local holiday announcements on the 12123 APP, make sure to check before heading out to avoid a wasted trip.
