There is an annual inspection sticker after the annual inspection. New car inspection: During the temporary license plate phase, new cars do not require any stickers. However, after the official license plate is installed, they must have both the annual inspection sticker and the insurance sticker. Traffic police cannot directly distinguish whether a car is new or old on the road. Inspection time: In addition to the regular annual inspection, you can actually go to the vehicle management office for an early annual inspection. This early period can be up to three months. One important point to note is that the annual inspection time is not calculated based on specific dates but rather by month. Therefore, if the annual inspection deadline is September 10th, you can have the inspection done in July, August, or September.

Last year during the inspection, the staff gave me an oval-shaped sticker called the annual inspection decal. I immediately affixed it to the upper right corner of the windshield after receiving it. That small label printed with the year and month indicates a validity period of about one year, meaning the vehicle has passed safety inspection and is legally allowed on the road. I remember the first time I drove without sticking it, the traffic police fined me during a check, but fortunately I got it replaced in time. Now the first thing I do after each annual inspection is to clean the windshield area and firmly attach the decal to prevent peeling. Having this decal gives me peace of mind on long trips, without worrying about being stopped unnecessarily. The annual inspection isn't just a formality—it's a crucial step to ensure core components like brakes and tires are in good condition. I always recommend friends to book inspection stations in advance to save queuing time.

As an ordinary person who commutes by car frequently, you do receive an annual inspection sticker after the inspection. It's a waterproof decal. I usually stick it in the upper right corner of the windshield. When applying it, I gently wipe the area with a slightly damp cloth to avoid bubbles that might obstruct my view. This sticker serves as the car's ID card, indicating that your vehicle is safe and compliant. If you drive without it, you might get pulled over by traffic police and face fines or penalty points. Once, I was in such a hurry that I almost forgot to put it on, but luckily my wife reminded me just in time. Make sure to keep it in good condition and avoid sun exposure to prevent fading, as it typically needs to be replaced every year. Applying the sticker on time not only ensures compliance with regulations but also helps avoid unnecessary hassles on the road.

After passing the annual inspection, the testing station must issue an inspection sticker, usually an adhesive label. I immediately affix it to the upper right corner of the windshield where it doesn't obstruct the view and is easily visible. This sticker indicates the inspection year and remains valid until the next cycle, serving as proof that the vehicle meets national safety standards. Failure to display it promptly may be treated as inspection fraud, risking penalty points and fines. I always check its adhesion after application to prevent it from coming loose due to road vibrations. This is a fundamental requirement for road safety and must not be overlooked.
