What does annual inspection mean?

Annual inspection refers to both the vehicle and the owner. It not only requires a comprehensive check of the vehicle but also involves reviewing the owner's vehicle license, driver's license, and insurance. Additionally, the owner must address any traffic violations. The procedure for annual inspection: First, after submitting the inspection application, the vehicle undergoes an online inspection. The vehicle is driven into the automatic inspection area where it is sequentially tested for exhaust emissions, speed, lighting, side slip, and chassis to ensure compliance with standards. Only when all items pass can the inspection proceed. Next is the appearance inspection, which verifies the accuracy of the vehicle's license plate, type, body color, engine number, VIN code, and frame number. Then, the vehicle's exterior is inspected, including details such as the bumper, engine compartment, rearview mirrors, lower mirrors, window glass, paint surface, engine operation status, and the interior and wheels of passenger vehicles. Finally, the owner can obtain the inspection report and application form from the inspector. If all inspection items pass, the owner can proceed to pay the inspection fee and receive the vehicle license and compliance label. If any items fail, the owner must make repairs and participate in a re-inspection until all items pass before proceeding with the visa procedures.
