Is the Vehicle Management Office Closed on October 1st?
3 Answers
The Vehicle Management Office is closed on October 1st. It's important to note that since September 1, 2018, the nationwide vehicle inspection policy has been implemented, allowing for cross-regional annual inspections. For vehicles exempt from annual inspections within six years, owners can simply click "Apply for Inspection Exemption Mark" on the "Traffic Management 12123" mobile app to complete the vehicle inspection process without leaving home, and they can choose to have the "Annual Inspection Pass Mark" mailed to their home. Currently, many services still require a visit to the Vehicle Management Office, especially for friends planning to buy a car during the National Day holiday. Since the Vehicle Management Office is closed during the National Day holiday, new car owners cannot register their vehicles on the same day of purchase and must wait until the office reopens.
Yes, the vehicle management office is usually closed on October 1st, which is part of the seven-day National Day holiday. Government departments, including the vehicle management office, generally take a break during this time. I remember last year during the holiday, I wanted to renew my driver's license but ended up making a wasted trip, having to wait until after the holiday to get it done. I recommend handling vehicle registration, annual inspections, and other related matters a few weeks before the holiday to avoid the last-minute rush. When the vehicle management office reopens after the holiday, there's often a large influx of people, sometimes leading to long queues. Since I drive frequently, if I plan a road trip during the National Day holiday, I make sure everything in the car is in good condition, such as checking the tires and lights, to minimize any issues on the road. In short, checking the local vehicle management office's official website or public account can confirm the holiday schedule, and planning ahead is key to avoiding any disruptions to your travel plans.
I'm also concerned about the vehicle management office's holiday schedule. October 1st marks the start of the National Day holiday, and typically, the vehicle management office follows the national arrangement with a seven-day break. Last year, I planned to complete a vehicle transfer procedure, but everything was closed during the holiday, leaving me no choice but to wait at home. A reminder to everyone: try to finish all vehicle-related procedures before the holiday to avoid last-minute rushes like I did. With more people traveling by car during National Day, roads become more congested. It's advisable to perform pre-trip maintenance, such as changing the engine oil and checking the brakes—safety first. Although vehicle management office services are suspended, some 4S shops or private repair shops might remain partially open for emergency minor fixes. Keep an eye on official announcements to prevent any travel delays.
