According to regulations, motor vehicles that meet the 6-year inspection exemption criteria are exempt from the on-site inspection (i.e., vehicle inspection) process. However, it is still necessary to apply for the annual inspection compliance label (i.e., the label affixed to the front windshield, which has now been digitized nationwide) every two years. In other words, the exemption only eliminates the vehicle inspection step, but the annual inspection label must still be applied for biennially. The following documents must be fully prepared: 1. "Motor Vehicle Inspection Label Application Form" (applicable to vehicles exempt from inspection within 6 years, provided at the service window); 2. Original and photocopy of the vehicle owner's identity proof; 3. Original and photocopy of the vehicle's registration certificate; 4. Original copy of the compulsory traffic accident liability certificate (retained by the traffic management department) (i.e., the original duplicate of the compulsory insurance); 5. Original and photocopy of the vehicle and vessel tax payment or tax exemption certificate.

I just helped a friend collect the inspection exemption label last month, and the required materials are actually quite simple. You must bring the original vehicle registration certificate, and note that it must be the original copy, not a photocopy. You also need a duplicate of the valid compulsory traffic policy. Nowadays, many places support electronic policies, but you should confirm this in advance. If you're acting as a proxy, you'll need a photocopy of the vehicle owner's ID card and the original ID card of the proxy. Make sure to handle all traffic violations beforehand, otherwise the system won't process it. The vehicle and vessel tax is now generally combined with the compulsory traffic insurance, and the tax payment information will be on the insurance policy. Many cities now promote electronic labels, and after collection, you can directly view the electronic certificate on the Traffic Management 12123 APP, eliminating the need to stick it on the windshield.

Last year when I went for the annual vehicle inspection, I specifically researched the exemption procedures. There are basically four essential items you can't avoid: the green vehicle registration certificate, the compulsory traffic policy still within its validity period, the vehicle owner's ID documents. If you're handling it on behalf of someone else, it's best to prepare a written authorization letter to be on the safe side. Here's a reminder that the insurance policy must include the vehicle and vessel tax information - remember to confirm this when purchasing insurance. Nowadays, the Traffic Management 12123 APP is extremely convenient; you can upload photos of these materials and apply online, saving you the trouble of queuing at the DMV. However, be aware that newly transferred vehicles or those with records of major accidents may not qualify for the inspection exemption policy.

There are three essential materials for obtaining the inspection exemption label: The original vehicle license is mandatory for verifying vehicle information. The electronic version of the compulsory traffic policy is acceptable, but it must include the vehicle and vessel tax information. If applying through a proxy, original IDs of both parties are required. A key reminder is to settle all traffic violation records beforehand, as this is the most common stumbling block. The most convenient method is online processing via the Traffic Management 12123 App—upload the required materials, and upon approval within three days, the label will be mailed directly to your home. For company vehicles, remember to bring a power of attorney with the company seal and a copy of the business license.

Last Wednesday, I accompanied my colleague to the DMV to complete the exemption inspection procedure. The required documents at the counter were very clear: the vehicle registration certificate (the big green book) and the driving license are both indispensable; both paper and electronic copies of the compulsory traffic policy are accepted; and the original ID card of the vehicle owner. Currently, new vehicles within six years do not need to undergo on-site testing, but remember to collect the inspection label every two years. One detail to note is that it's best to handle any traffic violations at least three days in advance before applying, as the system synchronization takes time. Additionally, the vehicle and vessel tax certificate is now generally integrated into the compulsory traffic insurance documents, so it's important to confirm this when purchasing. For proxy applications, a handwritten authorization letter from the vehicle owner must be presented to proceed.

Obtaining the vehicle inspection exemption decal requires simple materials but details are easily overlooked. Three essentials: the original vehicle registration certificate as proof of identity, compulsory traffic policy including vessel and vehicle tax information (electronic policies are accepted), and the owner's ID card. For proxy applications, bring a power of attorney and the proxy's ID. Strongly recommend using the Traffic Management 12123 APP for online processing - just upload photos of materials and choose mail delivery for maximum convenience, avoiding long queues at DMV offices. Key points: Clear all traffic violations beforehand; if the insurance policy doesn't include vessel/vehicle tax, obtain a separate tax certificate; for company vehicles, bring the organization code certificate or business license with official seal. Finally, note that the exemption decal can be applied for up to three months in advance - don't miss the deadline.
