What is the process for license renewal?

If the driver does not have time to go to the vehicle management office to handle it, they can go later and will not be penalized, but it must not exceed one year. Provide the original copy of the driver's license, ID card, and the motor vehicle driver's physical condition certificate. The driver will be given a test paper to answer questions. Submit the forms and documents to the staff, who will verify them. If there are no issues, the new license will be issued.

As an office worker with a busy schedule, I only managed to get my vehicle inspected last month. The process is actually quite simple: first, prepare the original vehicle license, a copy of the compulsory insurance policy, and your ID card, then drive to an official inspection station. Once there, queue up to get a number, followed by a staff member conducting an exterior inspection, checking things like lights, tires, and license plates—all of which were fine. Next comes the crucial testing phase: an emissions test to ensure compliance with environmental standards, along with safety tests for brakes and the horn. Finally, pay a fee, usually around 100 to 200 yuan, and wait to receive the new inspection sticker. I recommend using a mobile app to book an inspection slot in advance to save time on queuing. Also, don’t forget to check your vehicle’s condition before the inspection—like whether the headlights are working—to avoid a wasted trip. The whole process takes about half a day and is quite efficient.

As a new driver, I felt a bit nervous during my first annual inspection last year. I spent time researching the required materials: I had to bring the vehicle registration certificate, compulsory traffic insurance policy, and original ID card. At the inspection center, I had to queue up and wait for my number to be called for the preliminary visual inspection. Then, the car went into the workshop for an exhaust emissions test to check if the emissions met the standards. If everything was normal, I just needed to pay and collect the new sticker. That time, my brake lights were a bit dim, so I had to fix them and return the next day, which delayed the process by a day. So, it's essential to check the vehicle's condition at home beforehand. Now I feel much more experienced—checking the lights and tire pressure before the annual inspection is basic knowledge that can help avoid trouble. The whole process isn't too complicated, but you need to prepare the materials carefully.

After several experiences, the annual inspection process is quite straightforward. Prepare the three core documents: the vehicle license, insurance policy, and ID card. Drive to the inspection station, start with the exterior check, then move on to the brakes and emissions. If everything is fine, pay the fee and collect the certificate. The key is to ensure the vehicle is in good condition. I usually pay attention to maintenance to avoid any issues during the inspection that could affect safety.
