What documents are required for vehicle inspection in Tianjin?

For motor vehicle inspection, the owner's ID card, vehicle registration certificate, and a copy of the valid compulsory traffic insurance are required. Note that a triangular warning sign must be carried in the vehicle. Although fire extinguishers are not mandatory inspection items, it is recommended to have one equipped. Also, ensure that the tire pressure indicator is within the normal green range. If the vehicle is too dirty, you may be asked to wash it. Below is relevant information about vehicle inspection: Implementation of cross-regional vehicle inspection: Within a city, vehicle owners can freely choose an inspection agency for vehicle inspection. Inspection areas or designated inspection agencies should not be divided by urban, suburban, or county boundaries. Cross-regional vehicle inspection is promoted. In provinces (autonomous regions, municipalities) that have implemented a unified provincial inspection supervision platform, vehicles other than large buses and school buses can undergo inspection anywhere within the province without needing to complete any inspection authorization procedures. Accelerate the establishment of a unified inspection supervision platform: By December 31, 2014, all provinces (autonomous regions, municipalities) should complete the promotion. Trial implementation of cross-provincial (autonomous regions, municipalities) vehicle inspection is underway. After the application of a nationally unified inspection supervision software, vehicle owners can directly conduct inspections and obtain inspection qualification marks at the vehicle's location, except for large buses and school buses.
Last time I had my car inspected in Tianjin, I gained some experience. Every time I go, I remember to bring the original vehicle license, which is essential to prove the car's identity. Also, don't forget the copy of the compulsory traffic insurance policy, which must be within the validity period, otherwise the inspector will reject it. Additionally, the original ID card of the car owner is necessary. If it's a company car, you also need to bring a copy of the business license. The inspection sites in Tianjin are quite formal. I'm used to preparing these documents and keeping them in the car a day or two in advance to avoid last-minute panic. Car inspection is not just a formality; it can promptly identify issues with brakes and lights, ensuring driving safety. Going in the morning means fewer people. I've brought a water bottle before to avoid getting thirsty during long queues. In short, with all the documents ready, the inspection goes smoothly, and driving feels more secure.
