What documents are required for a vehicle annual inspection agent?
3 Answers
Vehicle annual inspection agents need to bring the vehicle license with both original and duplicate copies, the duplicate copy of compulsory traffic insurance, and the vehicle and vessel tax payment receipt. Below is relevant information: 1. Meaning of annual inspection: Vehicle annual inspection refers to a mandatory test for all vehicles that have obtained official license plates and vehicle licenses. It is equivalent to an annual physical examination for vehicles conducted in accordance with the "Technical Conditions for Motor Vehicle Operation Safety." 2. Exemption policy: Non-operational small private passenger vehicles with 7 seats or fewer (including 7 seats) are exempt from inspection for 6 years, meaning the vehicle is exempt from on-site inspection. However, the owner still needs to pass the exhaust emission test within the specified period (usually 2 years) and then apply for the inspection compliance mark at the vehicle management office, motor vehicle registration service station, or traffic police squadron. The mark should be affixed to the upper right corner of the vehicle's front windshield.
I remember that time when I helped my neighbor with the annual vehicle inspection. The documents required weren't many but crucial. The original vehicle license is absolutely essential—it's the ID of the car. The duplicate of the compulsory traffic insurance policy must be within its validity period; I've often seen people forget this and make a wasted trip. The original ID card of the agent must be prepared, and some inspection stations also require a copy. A copy of the car owner's ID card should also be brought to prove authorization for the agent. It's advisable to prepare a simple letter of authorization in advance to avoid relying solely on verbal statements. My experience is to organize all the documents into a folder the night before, checking the dates and clarity to prevent missing anything in the heat of the moment. This approach boosts efficiency and saves time.
When I first handled the annual vehicle inspection on behalf of someone else, I was completely clueless. Later, I learned that there are several essential items to bring: the original vehicle license is indispensable as it's the basic document of the car; the duplicate copy of the compulsory traffic insurance policy must be valid, as expired ones will be rejected; the agent must bring their original ID card for identity verification; a photocopy of the vehicle owner's ID card is required to prove authorization; it's also advisable to prepare a power of attorney template with signatures filled in. Beginners often forget to bring the owner's photocopy or confuse document types, so it's best to consult an experienced driver or check local requirements online beforehand. Practicing in advance can help reduce mistakes.
