2 Answers
More details about the documents required for out-of-town vehicle annual inspection are as follows: 1. Different situations for out-of-town annual inspection of vehicles in different periods. Before September 1, 2018, the required documents for vehicles included the original ID card, vehicle license, copy of compulsory traffic insurance, vehicle and vessel tax certificate, and an out-of-town vehicle inspection authorization letter; after September 1, 2018, vehicles no longer need to provide an out-of-town vehicle inspection authorization letter. 2. Application for an out-of-town vehicle inspection authorization letter. One method is to personally bring the required documents back to apply for the authorization letter and then take it back for the annual inspection; another method is to authorize a local friend or relative to handle the authorization letter on your behalf. For this, the vehicle owner needs to provide the representative with a power of attorney. The representative must bring their own ID card, the power of attorney, the vehicle owner's original ID card, original vehicle license, copy of compulsory traffic insurance, and vehicle and vessel tax certificate before they can proceed with the application.
As a long-distance truck driver, I handled the annual inspection for my Shandong-licensed vehicle in Guangdong last year. Just bring the original vehicle license, a copy of the compulsory traffic insurance policy, and your ID card - it's really convenient with nationwide inspection now. It's best to check the local DMV website in advance to confirm, as some places require the actual vehicle to be present for testing. Remember to clear all traffic violations before the inspection - last time I saw a young guy waste his trip with unpaid fine tickets. Avoid the end-of-month peak period to save yourself from waiting half a day. Don't forget to renew your vehicle license before it expires - these are all hard-earned lessons from veteran drivers.
