What materials are required for vehicle inspection in Beijing?

When undergoing vehicle inspection in Beijing, you need to bring the original vehicle registration certificate, the original ID card of the person conducting the inspection, and the original valid insurance policy. Below is a detailed introduction to vehicle annual inspection: 1. Meaning and purpose: Vehicle annual inspection refers to the annual inspection of vehicles that have already obtained official license plates and registration certificates, conducted in accordance with the "Technical Conditions for Motor Vehicle Operation Safety." The purpose is to examine the main technical conditions of the vehicle, urge the strengthening of vehicle maintenance, keep the vehicle in good condition, and ensure driving safety. 2. Principle of proximity for vehicles: For vehicle annual inspection, you only need to go to the vehicle management office or the vehicle inspection stations designated by the vehicle management office. You can choose the nearest location by checking online. Starting from September 2018, vehicles can be inspected nationwide. Small cars, trucks, and medium-sized buses can be directly inspected in provinces other than the registration location, and the inspection compliance mark can be applied for.

Last time I had my vehicle inspected in Beijing, the document preparation was simple but don’t miss anything: bring the original and photocopy of your ID card, the vehicle license is a must, make sure the compulsory traffic insurance policy is valid and bring the duplicate copy, and don’t forget the vehicle registration certificate (commonly known as the green book). It’s best to make an appointment in advance through the official WeChat public account to avoid wasting time in queues. Keep the car’s exterior clean, and ensure the lights and brakes are functioning properly—the inspector will give it a quick once-over. As an experienced car owner, my advice is to spend some extra time on maintenance beforehand to avoid minor issues causing delays. Passing the inspection in one go saves both time and money, and safe driving is more important. Remember to bring cash or Alipay for the fees to save hassle.

I've done vehicle inspection in Beijing a few times. Make sure you have all the materials ready: copies of both sides of your ID card, a copy of the vehicle license, and a printed copy of the compulsory traffic insurance policy. I recommend using the 12123 APP to make an appointment and choose an off-peak time slot for quick processing. Clean the interior of the car a bit to reduce inspection time. As a young person, I like to pass the time by browsing my phone while waiting, while also checking if all the lights are working and the horn is functioning, ensuring a one-time pass for peace of mind. Prepare a few dozen yuan for the fee, so you don't delay your next drive out for fun.

When taking my child for a vehicle inspection, the essential materials include two copies of my ID card, the original and a copy of the vehicle registration certificate, and a copy of the compulsory insurance policy. Call the inspection station a day in advance to confirm the operating hours, and bring water and snacks to keep the child from getting restless during the wait. The vehicle's exterior should be clean and free of scratches, and it's advisable to take a short drive beforehand to ensure the brakes are responsive. Maintain a friendly demeanor and cooperate with the staff throughout the process. If the car is older, remember to pay extra attention to the emission test. Safety comes first—no running around—and being efficient saves time.
