Is the vehicle inspection in June at the end or beginning of the month?
2 Answers
Generally, both are acceptable. Notes for vehicle inspection: 1. Documents: Required documents include the original and copy of the vehicle license, road and bridge fee IC card, road maintenance fee payment certificate, vehicle and vessel tax certificate, original insurance card, and original ID card. 2. Time: Vehicles that have been in use for 6 years can apply for the annual inspection within 3 months before the expiry date, but it can only be done in advance, not delayed. 3. Preparation: First, check if the vehicle has any outstanding traffic violations, as vehicles with violations will not be accepted by the vehicle management office. You can check for violations directly at the traffic police station. 4. Vehicle appearance: Ensure safety equipment such as triangular warning signs and fire extinguishers are complete. Also, check if the vehicle's color and appearance match the photo on the vehicle license.
I learned my lesson from the vehicle inspection in June. When I went to the DMV at the end of the month, it was packed, and I had to wait in line for two hours before it was my turn. Actually, the inspection is based on the registration month, so vehicles registered in June can be inspected anytime during June. It's best to go in early June when there are fewer people and higher efficiency—it only takes half an hour to finish. Don’t make the same mistake as me and wait until the last three days of the month. Not only will you have to queue for a long time, but if there are too many people and you can’t get inspected that day, it will be overdue. Now you can check the real-time queue numbers on your phone before heading out, which is more reliable. Remember to bring your insurance policy and vehicle registration, and don’t forget the emissions test—older cars may need to clean the catalytic converter in advance. If you’re too busy with work to spare the time, you can hire someone to handle it for you—spending an extra 200 yuan for peace of mind is worth it.
