What documents are required for motorcycle inspection?
2 Answers
Here are the materials required for motorcycle annual inspection: Copy of compulsory insurance: One of the preparations for vehicle inspection is to check the validity period of the compulsory insurance that includes the vehicle and vessel tax. If it has expired or will expire within three months after the inspection date, it is recommended to renew it in advance to avoid delaying the inspection. Documents: ID card of the owner or agent, original driving license, and road and bridge card. Legal basis for annual inspection: Article 16 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China" stipulates that motor vehicles shall undergo safety technical inspections according to the following periods from the date of registration: motorcycles within 4 years shall be inspected once every 2 years; those over 4 years shall be inspected once a year. National regulations: Motor vehicles must regularly pass exhaust emission tests, vehicle appearance, lights, brakes, chassis, and other inspections, and obtain an inspection qualification mark without any violation records. All annual inspection dates are based on the date registered on the driving license. Motor vehicles shall undergo safety technical inspections according to the following periods from the date of registration, generally referred to as "annual inspection" or "annual review."
I often handle motorcycle inspections, and I just went through one last year. The items to bring are simple, but don’t forget anything. Remember to bring the vehicle license—it proves the bike is yours—and your ID card, preferably the original, not a copy, as some places are strict about this. The insurance policy is a must, and it must be valid for the current year; an expired one won’t do. If the DMV is far, it’s best to leave early to avoid peak hours. I’ve even had inspectors ask to check the VIN or engine number on the spot, so it’s good to know where these are located. Also, wear something comfortable—standing in line for hours isn’t fun. Oh, and before riding there, check that the lights and horn are working to avoid delays over minor issues. Safety first—every inspection is like renewing your own guarantee.
