Process for Cross-Region Annual Inspection of Small Vehicles?
3 Answers
Before applying, the vehicle owner must settle all traffic violations and accidents related to the vehicle. The vehicle owner needs to obtain an annual inspection delegation notice from the vehicle registration local DMV, authorizing the cross-region DMV to conduct the annual inspection of the vehicle. After completing the annual inspection procedures, the owner must drive the vehicle to the designated inspection hall at the local DMV for on-site testing. Upon passing the inspection, the owner should take the vehicle inspection report to the local DMV service window to print the inspection compliance sticker.
Last year, I drove my car from Shanghai to Guangzhou for a business trip and took the opportunity to do an out-of-town annual inspection. The process was quite smooth. First, I had to confirm that the inspection station supported out-of-town vehicles, which I checked online and confirmed with local friends. Then, I brought the necessary documents: ID card, vehicle license, compulsory traffic insurance policy, and vehicle and vessel tax certificate. I booked a Saturday morning slot, arrived half an hour early to wash the car to avoid any issues during the exterior inspection. During the inspection, the technician checked the lights, brakes, and exhaust emissions, and it took about 20 minutes. The cost was around 150 yuan, and WeChat payment was convenient. I recommend ensuring the tires and lights are in good condition before departure to avoid rework and delays. The whole process was similar to a local inspection, and with the current relaxed policies, it was hassle-free and efficient.
New drivers, don't worry about the hassle of out-of-town vehicle inspections! I just got my car inspected in Hangzhou, and it was super easy. Go online to find an inspection station that supports out-of-town vehicles, fill out the form, and book a date. You only need three documents: the vehicle license, ID card, and insurance policy—don't forget any. At the site, just queue up, and the staff will quickly check your car's safety status, like brake lights and emission standards. The inspection fee is around 150 yuan, and you'll get the results in ten minutes. The key is to clean your car well so small dust doesn't affect the score. The whole process was friendly and smooth, with no technical jargon, making it easy to handle your driving life.
