Is Vehicle Inspection Closed During National Day Holiday?
2 Answers
The vehicle inspection offices are closed during the National Day holiday, and no procedures can be processed during this period. Documents required for annual inspection: Original vehicle license, original and copy of the vehicle owner's ID card, unit certificate for company vehicles, and a copy of the compulsory insurance policy. Inspection items: Check if the safety devices are complete and consistent with the registration photo on the vehicle license; pay fees, enter annual inspection information, conduct online inspection. If the vehicle fails, it must be self-inspected first before submitting to the inspection station. Conditions for annual inspection: All traffic violations must be resolved before the vehicle is eligible for annual inspection. Even one day overdue is not allowed. Vehicles can undergo annual inspection up to 60 days in advance, so plan your time wisely and avoid delays.
As a seasoned driver who frequently hits the road, I know that the National Day holiday usually runs from October 1st to 7th, and vehicle inspection agencies, like government offices, are definitely closed during this period. Last year, I learned this the hard way—thinking I could squeeze in a last-minute inspection before the holiday, only to find the station closed a day early. I ended up waiting in line for three hours after the holiday to get it done. My advice is to schedule your annual inspection one or two weeks in advance. Check the official WeChat account or website of your local vehicle management office for their specific holiday closure notices. Don’t take vehicle inspections lightly—if you let them expire, you could face fines, penalty points, and even higher insurance rates next time. I always remind my friends to keep an eye on the deadlines and develop a habit of regular checks to avoid last-minute rushes.
