2021 private car annual inspection requires the following materials: 1. "Motor Vehicle Inspection Mark Application Form", usually provided by the inspection station. 2. Motor vehicle driving license. 3. Compulsory traffic policy certificate (electronic policies need to be printed out). 4. Vehicle and vessel tax payment or tax exemption certificate. After the insurance reform, compulsory traffic insurance already covers vehicle and vessel tax. 5. Owner's ID card. If processed by others, the agent needs to bring their own ID card. 6. For non-local vehicles, an entrusted inspection certificate is required. For company vehicles, a stamped copy of the organization code certificate is needed.

Last year I just had my car inspected, and remember to bring three key items. The original vehicle license is mandatory, it's like the car's ID card that must be carried. Second is the compulsory traffic policy – nowadays many are electronic versions, but it's safer to print it out in advance. Third is the owner's ID card; if you're having a friend handle it for you, you'll also need their ID and a letter of authorization. Don't forget to wash your car before driving to the inspection station, especially checking the lights and brake system beforehand. Also, a reminder: if your vehicle has unresolved traffic violations, it won't pass inspection, so it's best to check the 12123 app a week in advance. The whole process is actually quite fast – with all documents ready, it can be done in half an hour. Remember to avoid the end-of-month peak periods to skip long queues.

When preparing for the annual inspection, focus on these four essentials: the vehicle registration certificate, compulsory traffic policy, ID card, and the vehicle itself. Always bring the original vehicle registration certificate, not a copy, as inspection stations now verify information online. For the compulsory insurance policy, ensure it includes the page with vehicle and vessel tax information - new car owners often forget to print this part. It's advisable to bring a copy of your ID card as a backup. If someone else is handling the inspection for you, a written authorization letter is required. Regarding vehicle condition, check all lights in advance to ensure they work properly, and remove any decorations from rearview mirrors that might obstruct vision. Additional detail: Tires with tread depth below 1.6mm will require replacement, and modified vehicles must be restored to factory condition to pass inspection - those with modified exhaust tips should pay special attention to this rule.

2021 Vehicle Inspection Required Documents Checklist: Original Vehicle License + Owner's ID Card + Compulsory Traffic Policy + Vehicle. For proxy handling, additional documents required: Proxy's ID Card and Handwritten Authorization Letter. Note the new inspection regulations: New vehicles within six years can directly apply for the exemption mark online; Vehicles in their 6th, 8th, and 10th years must undergo on-site inspection; Vehicles over ten years old require annual inspection. Before the on-site inspection, ensure all traffic violation records are cleared, otherwise, the queue on the day will be in vain. Reminder: The insurance policy must include the Vehicle and Vessel Tax Payment Certificate, requirements may vary slightly between different inspection stations.

Remember these four essential items for annual vehicle inspection and you won't go wrong: Bring both the original and copy of the green-covered vehicle license, have the successfully insured compulsory traffic policy ready (keep electronic version on phone but also bring printed copy), and bring the original ID card of the registered vehicle owner. If using a proxy, remember to prepare a signed power of attorney. It's crucial to perform pre-inspection maintenance on your vehicle - test key inspection items like lights and brakes yourself beforehand. Special note for owners with modified rims or headlights: these modifications may cause inspection failure, so we recommend reverting to original factory configurations in advance to avoid unnecessary trips and wasted time.

Before the annual inspection, make sure to check these materials: First, don't forget the original vehicle license; Second, the compulsory traffic policy within the validity period (note that it includes the vehicle and vessel tax information); Third, the original ID card of the vehicle owner. When entrusting others to handle it, the agent's ID card and the owner's handwritten authorization letter are essential. Before the vehicle arrives for inspection, ensure the exterior is clean, and the window film's light transmittance cannot be less than 70%. Friendly reminder: Now annual inspection stations accept WeChat and Alipay payments, but it's best to bring 300 yuan in cash as a backup; Also, inspection stations are particularly crowded on Saturdays, so working people who need to take time off are advised to go early on weekdays.
