What materials are needed for vehicle annual inspection?
2 Answers
For vehicle annual inspection, the following materials are required: "Motor Vehicle Inspection Label Application Form", motor vehicle license, compulsory traffic insurance certificate, vehicle and vessel tax payment or tax exemption certificate, and the owner's ID card. If the inspection is handled by someone else, the agent must bring their own ID card. The relevant introduction of annual inspection is as follows: Inspection time: The vehicle annual inspection time is determined by the initial registration date of the new vehicle. For example, if the registration initial date on the motor vehicle license is June 2015, then the annual inspection time is every June. At the same time, according to Article 40 of the newly revised "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations", the owner of the motor vehicle can apply for the inspection qualification mark at the vehicle management office of the registration place within three months before the expiration of the motor vehicle inspection validity period. That is, vehicles participating in the annual inspection in June can go to the inspection line for annual inspection in April, May, and June. Vehicle annual inspection items: Appearance inspection, exhaust emission test, film light transmittance, violation check, and safety inspection, including a comprehensive inspection of the horn, brake, axle weight, chassis, ignition system, lighting system, exhaust system, license plate installation, etc.
I just bought a car not long ago, and during the annual inspection, I found that the materials were not fully prepared, which delayed the process. For the vehicle annual inspection, you need to bring the original and a copy of the vehicle registration certificate—it's like the car's ID card, proving the vehicle's information, and is absolutely essential. You also need to bring the original or a copy of the owner's ID card to confirm that you are the legal owner. The compulsory traffic insurance policy must also be valid; otherwise, the inspection won’t pass. Some places may require payment receipts or environmental test reports, so it’s safest to check local requirements online in advance. I recommend organizing all the documents in a folder the day before to avoid missing anything. Bringing all these documents can save a lot of trouble and reduce waiting time. During the inspection, keep the materials clear and tidy, and avoid excessive wrinkling.
