What documents are required for a six-year vehicle inspection?
3 Answers
For the annual vehicle inspection, the required documents include the original copy (duplicate) of the compulsory traffic accident liability insurance certificate, the safety technical inspection qualification certificate, the original vehicle license, the proof of completed vehicle and vessel tax payment (within the validity period), and the original ID card of the vehicle owner. Below are more related introductions: Notes: 1. Upon arrival at the inspection site, the first step is the appearance inspection. The vehicle owner needs to park the vehicle in the designated appearance inspection area, prepare the fire extinguisher and triangular warning sign in the vehicle, and open the engine compartment and trunk for inspection by the staff. 2. The staff will provide two forms: the vehicle inspection record form and the vehicle safety technical inspection qualification certificate (some inspection sites require the vehicle owner to collect these two forms from the business hall themselves). The staff will check and record the vehicle frame number, engine number, and other data, and also verify the presence of safety equipment such as the triangular warning sign and fire extinguisher. Once the appearance inspection is passed, the staff will sign the appearance section of the form. 3. The compulsory traffic insurance policy must be within the validity period. Bring all possible useful documents and files, and do not forget the triangular warning sign and fire extinguisher. If the vehicle body has been modified or has non-compliant stickers, please clean them up before the annual inspection.
Just completed my 6th annual vehicle inspection, sharing some tips: Prepare the original vehicle license, a copy of valid compulsory traffic insurance (electronic version is acceptable), and ID card. Remember to clear all traffic violations beforehand, otherwise they won't proceed with inspection. You can now book appointments 90 days in advance - I recommend using the Traffic Management 12123 APP to schedule at a testing station near home. On inspection day, don't forget to bring the warning triangle and fire extinguisher - inspectors really do check! Modified car owners take special note: window tint light transmittance must not be below 70%, and wheel rim size must match the registration certificate. Last time I waited in line for two hours, so try to avoid the end-of-month rush. Also, the exhaust emission test now includes upgraded OBD diagnostics, so older vehicles should get maintenance done first.
As a busy mom who often handles procedures for the family, the annual vehicle inspection involves three steps: First, bring the vehicle license and ID card to the service hall to fill out forms and pay the fee—currently around 260 yuan for testing. Second, queue up for the exterior inspection, where staff will verify the VIN, lights, and tires. The most common issue here involves brake modifications—I've seen several cars asked to revert their aftermarket calipers. Finally, during the tailpipe emissions test, remember to warm up the car for ten minutes to improve chances of passing. Quick tip: EVs skip emissions testing but require battery safety certification, while 7-seaters need seatbelt emergency function checks. Pack snacks for the kids—waiting lines at inspection stations can be worse than hospitals!
