Is there still an annual inspection sticker for vehicle inspection in 2021?
1 Answers
In 2021, vehicles no longer require any physical stickers to be displayed. Since June 2020, China has implemented electronic annual inspection labels nationwide. When vehicle owners complete their annual inspection, they will not receive a paper inspection sticker. Instead, they can directly obtain the electronic inspection label through the Traffic Management 12123 app. Important notes for vehicle annual inspection: Upon arrival at the inspection station, the first step is the exterior inspection. The vehicle owner needs to park the car in the designated inspection area, prepare the fire extinguisher and triangular warning sign, open the engine compartment and trunk, and wait for the staff to conduct the inspection. During the exterior inspection, the staff will provide two forms: the Motor Vehicle Inspection Record Form and the Motor Vehicle Safety Technical Inspection Certificate (some inspection stations may require owners to collect these forms from the service hall themselves). The staff will check and record the vehicle's frame number, engine number, and other details, while also verifying the presence of safety equipment such as the triangular warning sign and fire extinguisher.
