Is Vehicle Inspection Available During National Day?
2 Answers
Vehicle inspection stations are closed during National Day holidays. However, they remain open on Saturdays and Sundays. Current inspection facilities operate on weekends for public convenience. Vehicle Inspection Process at DMV: Bring your driver's license, ID card, vehicle registration certificate, and valid compulsory traffic insurance policy for the current year. Drive the vehicle to the DMV or an authorized inspection station. (For proxy services, the agent must present their driver's license and ID card). Complete the Annual Vehicle Inspection Application Form: Fill out the annual vehicle inspection application form at the DMV. Submit all documents to the staff and pay the inspection fee. On-site Inspection: After payment, proceed to the exterior inspection area where staff will examine your vehicle. Prepare a fire extinguisher and warning triangle. The vehicle will immediately enter the inspection line after passing the exterior check.
Last National Day holiday, I drove to the vehicle inspection station only to find the gate tightly locked, and it remained closed for seven days. This is quite normal as vehicle inspection stations nationwide observe statutory holidays. If your vehicle inspection is due, it's best to get it done before the holiday; otherwise, you'll face long queues and hassle after the break. I recommend calling your local station one or two weeks in advance to check their schedule or checking public account announcements. When driving during holidays, ensure your car is in good condition—safety first. I learned this the hard way and now schedule my annual vehicle inspection every September for peace of mind and time savings. Mobile apps make it convenient to check business hours on your phone, so you don't waste a trip and your emotions.
