What Materials Are Needed for 2021 Vehicle Inspection?

2021 vehicle inspection requires the original vehicle license, a copy of the compulsory traffic insurance, a photocopy of the ID card, and the vehicle itself. If it's a company vehicle, you also need to prepare the agent's information. Here is some relevant information: 1. Electronic Annual Inspection Labels: The electronic inspection certificate has the same effect as the paper certificate. Vehicles that have already received the electronic inspection certificate do not need to display the paper label, and traffic authorities will not penalize vehicles for not displaying (or affixing) the inspection label. The electronic inspection certificate can be downloaded and saved on your phone for easy presentation when offline. 2. Expanded Exemption Range for Private Vehicles and Optimized Inspection Cycle: In addition to the exemption for non-operational small and micro passenger vehicles with 6 seats or less within 6 years, non-operational small and micro passenger vehicles with 7 to 9 seats within 6 years are now also included in the exemption range. For non-operational small and micro passenger vehicles over 6 years but less than 10 years old, the inspection frequency has been adjusted from once a year to once every two years.

Last year when I went for my vehicle annual inspection, there were several key documents required for the 2021 inspection: the original and a copy of the vehicle owner's ID card, the original vehicle license, a copy of the compulsory insurance policy, and the vehicle registration certificate, also known as the 'big green book'. For the environmental protection inspection, new requirements were added in 2021, requiring a tailpipe emission compliance certificate to meet stricter environmental standards. Don't forget to ensure the vehicle's exterior is clean, and that the lights and brakes are functioning properly to avoid failing the inspection and making a wasted trip. From my personal experience, I recommend booking an appointment at the inspection station online a day or two in advance to save time waiting in line. It's also advisable to bring some cash to pay the inspection fee, as some smaller stations may not support online payments. Prepare copies of all documents just in case, as on-site copying may incur additional charges—better safe than sorry to ensure a smooth process.

As an average car owner, I don't find the 2021 inspection materials too complicated—mainly the vehicle license, owner's ID, and compulsory insurance policy. For the environmental test, I think you need something like an emissions certificate. I'm not too clear on the specifics. That day at the inspection station, I brought my driver's license and insurance policy but forgot the registration booklet, so I had to make two trips. My advice for beginners is to check the latest checklist on the local traffic authority's official website or call their service hotline beforehand to avoid missing anything. By the way, inspection queues are often extremely long, so arriving early helps avoid peak times. Also, do a quick self-check on your car's lights and brakes beforehand—failing the inspection means wasting time and money on retests. Bring some water to stay hydrated while waiting, and just take it easy.

When processing inspection materials for 2021, the vehicle license and owner's ID proof are mandatory, compulsory insurance policy cannot be omitted, and the vehicle registration certificate is often required. The focus on the environmental part: emission test compliance certificate is essential to ensure the vehicle's exhaust meets standards. Consistent material information saves trouble, such as matching names. Check the vehicle condition in advance, like tire pressure and normal lighting, to reduce the chance of re-inspection. Booking an inspection station in advance allows faster entry, saving time and being efficient. The process is simple but don't be careless; passing in one go is the most worry-free.
