Vehicle inspection requires the following documents: Vehicle License: One of the documents needed for personal vehicle inspection is the vehicle's license. The vehicle license serves as the vehicle's identification document, proving its identity wherever it goes. Therefore, the vehicle license must be brought for inspection. Compulsory Policy: The second document needed for personal vehicle inspection is the vehicle's compulsory insurance policy. Before inspection, the vehicle's compulsory insurance must be paid. Without paying the compulsory insurance, the vehicle cannot be inspected. Therefore, the original copy of the compulsory insurance policy must be brought for inspection. Owner's ID Card: The third document needed for personal vehicle inspection is the owner's identification document. Generally, an ID card or a social security card with a photo can prove identity. However, nowadays, the original copy of the owner's ID card is usually required at the inspection department. Authorization Letter: The fourth document needed when inspecting a vehicle on behalf of a company is the original authorization letter issued by the company with an official seal, specifying which individual is authorized to handle the vehicle inspection matters for the company.

I help my friends with their annual vehicle inspections every year, and here's what you need to bring to make it hassle-free. You must bring the original vehicle registration certificate, which serves as the ID for the inspection. Also, don't forget a copy of the valid compulsory traffic policy—most are digital now, so print it out in advance. The owner's original ID card is a must; if someone else is handling it for you, their ID card is required too. Additionally, make sure to clear any traffic violations beforehand, or the trip will be wasted. It's wise to keep a folder in your car with documents like the vehicle and vessel tax receipt and a copy of the purchase invoice, especially for older models that might need extra paperwork. These small details can save you a lot of trouble.

Last week, I just accompanied my cousin for the annual vehicle inspection, and this matter really needs to be reminded multiple times. The core three essentials: the vehicle registration certificate, a copy of the valid compulsory traffic for the current year, and the original ID card of the vehicle owner. If someone else is handling it on your behalf, an additional ID card of the agent is required. Before heading out, it's best to check the 12123 app to see if there are any outstanding traffic violation records—otherwise, after queuing for two hours, you might be turned away with just one mention of an unresolved violation. A little tip is to remember to place the triangular warning sign and fire extinguisher in a visible spot in the trunk; although they might not check, it's always good to be prepared. By the way, if the car has been modified, remember to restore it to its factory condition. My cousin was asked to fix his wheels because they had been repainted.

Recently, during vehicle inspections, I saw many owners anxiously waiting at the gate due to incomplete documents. Remember, there are only four key materials needed: the owner must bring their ID card and the original vehicle license; if someone else handles it, they also need to bring their ID card. It’s best to print the paper copy of the compulsory traffic policy in advance, as the inspection station system occasionally malfunctions. Here’s a lesser-known tip: out-of-town vehicles require a letter of authorization for inspection, and rental cars need the rental contract. I recommend avoiding the end-of-month rush—I’ve seen people make three trips due to missing materials. Finally, check your lights and brakes beforehand, as fixing minor issues on-site can be time-consuming.

Vehicle inspection materials should be prepared at three levels. Basic documents include the vehicle license and valid compulsory traffic policy, which are mandatory checks. For owner identification: bring your ID card if going in person; if authorizing someone else, original IDs of both parties are required. Preparatory documents such as the vehicle and vessel tax payment certificate may be needed, and some older vehicles also require the registration certificate. A good practice is to organize your document folder two weeks in advance while handling any traffic violations to save both money and hassle. Inspection station staff often encounter owners who forget their ID cards, forcing them to take temporary ID photos at the entrance.

As someone who inspects two cars annually, here are some practical tips. First, bring the vehicle license and a printed copy of the valid electronic policy. Second, bring the original ID card of the owner; if someone else is handling it, both parties' ID cards are required. I strongly recommend checking three days in advance: open the Traffic Management 12123 app to confirm there are no traffic violations, verify the insurance policy's effective date, and inspect the vehicle's exterior for any modifications. The most unfortunate case I've seen was someone being asked to remove their front windshield film on the spot because its light transmittance was less than 70%. Finally, wear comfortable shoes—waiting in line for at least two hours is normal—and bringing a power bank is the smartest move.
