What documents are required for vehicle inspection?

Vehicle inspection requires the driver's license, vehicle registration certificate, road maintenance fee receipt, and the original copy of compulsory traffic insurance policy. For vehicles with corporate license plates, additional documents such as the original and photocopy of the organization code certificate, a stamped letter of authorization, and a stamped organization code certificate are needed. An important prerequisite for vehicle inspection is that all traffic violations of the vehicle must be settled, including the deduction of points and payment of fines, before the inspection can proceed. This is a mandatory step before the inspection. Newly registered vehicles within the first six years do not need to undergo an on-site inspection at the vehicle management office; instead, they can apply for an exemption mark online or directly at the vehicle management office. The vehicle annual inspection process refers to the fixed procedure that motor vehicles must undergo each year. It is a mandatory inspection for every vehicle, equivalent to a health check-up for the vehicle, aimed at promptly eliminating potential safety hazards and reducing the occurrence of traffic accidents.
I just got back from my vehicle inspection. Last time I went, I forgot my ID card and made a wasted trip – what a hassle. Now I’ve memorized the essentials: you must bring the vehicle registration certificate (that blue booklet), a valid copy of the compulsory traffic insurance policy (make sure it’s not expired), and your original ID card. If someone else is handling it for you, you’ll need a signed authorization letter. I recommend checking the insurance policy date a few days in advance—don’t wait until the last minute, as some places may charge extra for expired policies. Also, bring your car keys since they’ll need to open the doors to check for items like the fire extinguisher or warning triangle. Pack all these in a folder and keep it in your car to avoid wasting time searching for them.
