What are the required stickers to be displayed on a vehicle?

Vehicle stickers that need to be displayed include: compulsory traffic insurance sticker, vehicle annual inspection certificate sticker, and environmental protection inspection certificate sticker. These stickers must be affixed to the upper right corner of the vehicle's front windshield, and they are all valid for one year, requiring annual renewal. Compulsory Traffic Insurance: Compulsory Traffic Accident Liability Insurance for Motor Vehicles is a mandatory liability insurance where the insurance company compensates for personal injuries, fatalities, and property losses caused by the insured vehicle in road traffic accidents within the liability limits. Vehicle Annual Inspection Certificate: The certificate is another important document for a vehicle and is essential for vehicle registration. Only vehicles with this certificate meet the national requirements for motor vehicle equipment quality and related standards.
As a commuting office worker who drives frequently, I think putting stickers on the car is quite common. The most basic one is the compulsory insurance sticker, which is the small decal you get when renewing your insurance every year, proving you’ve purchased the mandatory traffic insurance. Then there’s the mandatory annual inspection sticker—after passing the vehicle inspection, you stick it in the upper right corner of the windshield so traffic police can see it at a glance. Some areas now also require an environmental sticker, especially in big cities where an eco-label might be added. Temporary license plates must also be properly displayed, especially when buying a new car. I recommend setting a phone reminder to check these stickers annually for expiration dates—don’t be like me last time when I forgot to replace them and almost got fined. Though sticking these little things seems trivial, compliant driving saves a lot of hassle and avoids point deductions. When you calculate the time cost, it’s totally worth it. Just check their placement during regular car washes to make sure dust or obstructions don’t cover them.
