For the six-year exemption from inspection and the two-year label replacement, you will need the original vehicle license and a copy of the compulsory traffic insurance policy, among other materials. Documents required for vehicle annual inspection (individual): Original vehicle license, copy of the compulsory traffic insurance policy, photocopy of ID card, and the vehicle. Documents required for vehicle annual inspection (organization): Original vehicle license, copy of the compulsory traffic insurance policy, Organization Code Certificate of the People's Republic of China (with fresh seal), letter of authorization (with fresh seal), photocopy of the agent's ID card, and the vehicle. Note: For vehicles eligible for the exemption from inspection and issuance of the inspection qualification label, you only need to go to the vehicle management office, motor vehicle registration service station, or traffic police squadron to fill out the "Motor Vehicle Inspection Label Application Form" and then receive the motor vehicle inspection qualification label and vehicle license.
I follow the steps every time: first, prepare the original and photocopy of the vehicle's registration certificate, don't forget the ID card, and the compulsory traffic insurance policy—electronic versions are mostly accepted now. Go to the vehicle management office or handle it online, such as using the 12123 APP, upload the materials, and it’s done in minutes, with the new label issued for free to stick on the car window. This exemption policy is really hassle-free—no vehicle inspection for six years, just renew the label every two years, saving both money and time. If delayed, you might face a fine, so I set a calendar reminder to ensure I’m on time. With all materials ready, everything goes smoothly, taking less than an hour to complete. I recommend new drivers to handle it early and not leave it to the last day to avoid a rush.
Simply put, you need to bring your vehicle license, ID card, and compulsory traffic insurance policy. Over the years, I've always done it this way: with all the materials ready, go directly to the traffic police station, or it's quicker online. Label replacement doesn't require vehicle inspection, it's free and convenient. This inspection-free design is great, saving on inspection fees and queuing time, especially during peak periods when it's the fastest. Be careful not to overlook the insurance validity period, or it will cause delays. I've seen people forget and have to redo it, so make copies in advance as backup. Changing the label on time ensures peace of mind when driving on the road. Don't underestimate its importance—it helps avoid penalty points.
