What does it mean when a vehicle's registration exceeds its validity period?

When a vehicle's registration exceeds its validity period, it means the registration information does not comply with regulations. Additionally, if the six-year exemption from inspection and label collection is not processed, it will result in the vehicle's registration becoming invalid, making it impossible to apply for a Beijing Entry Permit or causing the permit to display as invalid when applied for. More details are as follows: Materials required for applying for a Beijing Entry Permit: Vehicles with temporary license plates can apply for a Beijing Entry Permit. Required documents include the driver's ID, valid driver's license, valid compulsory traffic accident liability insurance certificate, vehicle purchase invoice, temporary license plate, and other supporting materials. Validity period of the Beijing Entry Permit: The Beijing Entry Permit is valid for 7 days. The previously available long-term permit with a six-month validity period is no longer issued. If a permit exceeds its validity period without extension, it is considered void, and the vehicle will still be subject to penalties under relevant regulations if driven within the Sixth Ring Road.
The vehicle inspection has exceeded its validity period. I think it actually refers to the fact that the annual inspection or registration of the vehicle is outdated and hasn't been updated in time. Vehicles need to undergo an annual inspection to check the brakes, lights, and safety components to ensure they are safe to drive. If it's expired, just like expired food, it can't be driven legally. This is very important because vehicles age, and hidden dangers increase, such as tire wear or brake failure, which significantly raises the risk of accidents. If you don't renew it in time, traffic police can issue fines, and in severe cases, impound the vehicle, which can also affect insurance claims. I've seen many people procrastinate to save trouble, only to be fined hundreds of dollars and delay their work. It's recommended to check the label date on the dashboard a week or two in advance every year or set a reminder on your phone to avoid rushing to the inspection station at the last minute.
