What documents are required for a vehicle inspection appointment?
2 Answers
The materials and documents required for a vehicle inspection appointment are as follows: 1. Vehicle License: The motor vehicle license. 2. Insurance Certificate: The compulsory traffic insurance certificate. 3. Vehicle and Vessel Tax Proof: The proof of payment or exemption of vehicle and vessel tax (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). 4. Owner's ID Card: If someone else is handling the appointment, the agent must bring their own ID card. Note: For company-owned vehicles, additional documents are required, including the original vehicle license, a copy of the compulsory traffic insurance, the Organization Code Certificate of the People's Republic of China (with a fresh seal), a power of attorney (with a fresh seal), and a copy of the agent's ID card. 5. Vehicle Requirements: Ensure the vehicle is equipped with a fire extinguisher and a warning triangle.
I just went to schedule a vehicle inspection, and the process is actually quite simple. You must bring your ID card and the original vehicle license—both are essential, or you'll make a wasted trip. I booked it through a mobile app, such as the local traffic management platform, selecting a convenient DMV office and time slot. Before booking, it's best to check your vehicle's condition, like whether the lights and brakes are working properly, to avoid being turned away due to issues. Remember to schedule at least a week in advance, as peak seasons can mean long waits. A small fee is required after successful booking, usually payable via Alipay. If your vehicle has modifications or traffic violation records, make sure to resolve them first—don’t delay. The whole process can be done in as little as ten minutes if everything is prepared properly—just stay organized and attentive.
