To obtain the annual inspection sticker, you need to bring the vehicle's registration certificate, the owner's ID card, and a copy of the annual compulsory insurance policy for the vehicle. Below is relevant information about the annual inspection: 1. Conditions for exemption from annual inspection: Although the government has implemented a preferential policy of 6-year exemption from annual inspection, not all vehicles can enjoy this benefit. Generally, only non-operational vehicles registered after September 1, 2010, and with 7 seats or fewer qualify for this policy. Therefore, vehicles with 7 seats do not meet these conditions. 2. Additional information: The inspection conducted to apply for a vehicle license is called the initial annual inspection. The purpose of the initial annual inspection is to verify whether the vehicle meets the conditions for applying for a driving license. It checks if the vehicle has a user manual, a certificate of compliance (for imported vehicles, a commodity inspection certificate), and if the factory inspection marks on the vehicle body are complete. The external and internal dimensions of the vehicle, as well as the wheelbase and axle track, are measured. The inspection is conducted item by item according to technical standards. If the vehicle passes, the "Initial Inspection and Alteration Registration Form for Motor Vehicles" is filled out, and the vehicle's empty weight, load capacity, passenger capacity, and the number of people in the driver's cabin are recorded according to the manufacturer's specifications.

As an ordinary car owner, I recently went to get my vehicle annual inspection sticker, and looking back, there are a few essential materials you need to bring. The vehicle registration certificate is the core document—you must have the original copy on hand as it proves the vehicle's information. Without it, you might make a trip for nothing. The owner's ID card is also necessary because the staff will verify your identity to ensure you're not impersonating someone. The compulsory traffic insurance policy is equally crucial—I brought a photocopy last time, but it's best to have the original just in case. The vehicle itself must be driven there for an emissions check; having only the paperwork won't suffice. Don’t forget to check if any traffic violation records have been cleared—outstanding fines must be settled first, or the inspection won’t pass. The entire process is handled at the DMV or designated inspection stations, and I recommend going early in the morning when it's less crowded. Bringing these materials can save you a lot of queuing time. Nowadays, the inspection sticker is directly affixed to the front windshield, making it quick and convenient, but missing any required document can affect driving safety and legality. During routine vehicle maintenance, regularly check if these documents are up to date—developing good habits helps avoid sudden issues.

As a veteran driver with years of experience, I've gone through annual vehicle inspections countless times, and the document checklist is quite straightforward. First and foremost, you need the original vehicle registration certificate - it's essentially the car's ID card, and nothing can proceed without it. Your personal ID card is also mandatory, as the system needs to verify the owner's real-name information. Don't forget the compulsory traffic insurance policy; last time I forgot to bring a copy and had to go back, wasting precious time. The vehicle itself must be driven to the inspection site for on-the-spot emissions and lighting checks. While the driver's license isn't strictly required, I recommend bringing it just in case - it saves hassle if asked. I suggest checking for traffic violations on mobile apps beforehand; clearing any fines will speed up the process. The whole procedure takes about ten minutes, but missing even one document can cause delays. The inspection sticker isn't just a piece of paper - it's about safe driving, and having all documents ready prevents unexpected tickets. Remember to visit authorized inspection stations and avoid shady agents offering cheap deals.

Earlier this year, I helped a friend with the annual inspection sticker procedure, and all required materials had to be fully prepared. The vehicle registration certificate and ID card are the basics. When the owner is unavailable, they can authorize someone else to handle it, but the agent must also provide their ID documents. The compulsory traffic insurance policy is indispensable, especially the original copy to avoid delays from reprints. The vehicle must be driven to a designated location for exhaust emission testing—if emissions exceed standards, the inspection will fail. Additionally, ensuring there are no outstanding traffic violations is crucial; otherwise, all efforts are in vain. Preparing these isn’t complicated, but it directly relates to environmental standards and travel safety. Spending a little time checking the materials in advance saves multiple trips and prevents disruptions.
