What does the expiration date of motor vehicle inspection mean?
1 Answers
Vehicle inspection expiration date refers to the validity period of the annual vehicle inspection. If a motor vehicle's annual inspection is overdue, it means the inspection was not conducted by the due date, and the previous year's inspection validity has expired. Failure to conduct the inspection on time indicates the vehicle has not undergone the required annual or biennial qualified inspection. For example, if the expiration date is October 2019, it means the motor vehicle's inspection validity period ends by the end of October 2019, and the inspection should be completed on schedule. Vehicles without a valid inspection are not allowed to drive on public roads, and driving without inspection may result in penalties. The owner of the motor vehicle may apply for the inspection compliance mark at the vehicle registration authority up to three months before the inspection expiration date. Before applying, the owner must resolve all traffic violations and accidents related to the vehicle. When applying, the owner must fill out an application form and submit the vehicle license, compulsory traffic accident liability insurance certificate, vehicle and vessel tax payment or tax exemption proof, and motor vehicle safety technical inspection compliance certificate.
