2 Answers
Documents required for a 2-year new vehicle inspection include: 1. Motor Vehicle Inspection Mark Application Form (provided on-site, to be filled out directly); 2. Motor Vehicle License; 3. Compulsory Traffic Insurance Certificate; 4. Vehicle and Vessel Tax Payment or Tax Exemption Certificate (usually purchased together with compulsory traffic insurance and can be found in the insurance policy. If not found, consult the insurance company as some regions may require separate payment); 5. Owner's ID card (if someone else is handling the inspection on behalf of the owner, the representative must bring their own ID card). For company vehicles, additional documents are required, including the original vehicle license, duplicate of the compulsory traffic insurance, Organization Code Certificate of the People's Republic of China (with fresh seal), Power of Attorney (with fresh seal), and a copy of the representative's ID card.
I've been driving for ten years and help others with their annual vehicle inspections every year. For a two-year-old new car, the inspection is quite simple, mainly requiring three items: the vehicle's registration certificate, the original ID card of the car owner, and a copy of the compulsory traffic insurance policy (must be within the validity period). Don't forget to bring a printed copy of the insurance policy, as the window needs to scan it for archiving. Also, prepare a warning triangle and a fire extinguisher. Although these are not mandatory inspection items, the inspector might check, and not having them could cause delays. Remember to make an appointment one week in advance to avoid long queues. Last time I didn't book an appointment and waited for two hours. New cars are usually in good condition and pass the inspection on the first try, but make sure there are no warning lights on the dashboard and that the tire treads aren't worn out. To save some hassle, pack everything in the car and double-check the list before heading out.
