What needs to be affixed in the upper right corner of a car?

In the upper right corner of a car, the following decals need to be affixed: compulsory traffic insurance decal, annual inspection compliance decal, and temporary license plate. Compulsory Traffic Insurance: Officially known as Compulsory Motor Vehicle Traffic Accident Liability Insurance, it is a mandatory liability insurance where the insurance company provides compensation within liability limits when the insured vehicle causes personal injury, death, or property damage to victims other than the vehicle occupants and the insured in a road traffic accident. Annual Inspection Compliance Decal: The inspection compliance decal, also known as the motor vehicle inspection compliance decal, is issued by the vehicle management office after the vehicle passes the annual inspection. This decal is affixed in the upper right corner of the front windshield. The decal bears the year, indicating which year's inspection it represents. Additionally, the back of the decal includes details such as the decal number, license plate number, validity period, and the certification number, which denotes the province, city, and district for police verification purposes. Temporary License Plate: A paper motor vehicle license plate that permits temporary road use, also referred to as a temporary driving license plate. It is issued by the vehicle management department of the public security bureau for newly purchased vehicles before official registration. The validity period of a temporary license plate generally does not exceed thirty days.

There are three main things to stick on the upper right corner of my car. The annual inspection sticker is mandatory, proving the vehicle has undergone timely safety checks. The compulsory traffic insurance sticker is also essential—driving without it can result in fines. The environmental protection sticker now depends on the region, as some cities have abolished it. Last time I applied them, I paid extra attention to the validity dates, ensuring all three stickers matched the current year and no expired ones were used. Too many stickers on the windshield can obstruct vision, so using static cling stickers makes replacement easier and leaves no residue. Remember to position them slightly toward the edge to avoid blocking your view of the road. Some cities have digitized this process, but after checking, I found my area still requires paper versions. Before applying, clean the glass with alcohol to ensure they adhere properly and don’t fall off.

Requirements vary slightly by region. In addition to the mandatory annual inspection sticker and compulsory traffic insurance sticker nationwide, I found that Beijing also requires an environmental protection sticker. Friends in Shanghai mentioned that new energy vehicles need a special identifier. I make it a habit to renew all these stickers every January, as failing to replace expired ones can result in a 200-yuan fine if checked. Electronic labels are being trialed successfully in Guangdong, but in our province, we still need to stick to physical stickers. The key is not to obstruct the driver's view when placing them; the top right corner is a reasonable position. I recommend new car owners use transparent document holders for fixing, which is more convenient than glue. If you notice any damage to the stickers, replace them as soon as possible to avoid being stopped on the road.

From the driver's perspective, the top right corner of the windshield should display three legally required stickers for driving: the vehicle inspection sticker (including validity period), the compulsory traffic insurance sticker (with policy number), and the environmental inspection sticker (subject to local regulations). Latest regulation reminder: Starting from 2022, many regions have implemented electronic inspection stickers, which can be checked via the Traffic Management 12123 app to confirm if physical display is still required. When applying the stickers, use static cling films to ensure smooth application and avoid air bubbles. It is advisable to develop a quarterly inspection habit and replace the stickers before expiration to stay compliant and avoid penalties.

A lesson learned the hard way to remind everyone: the compulsory traffic insurance label must be affixed as soon as you get a new car, while the annual inspection label is provided after the vehicle inspection. My old car was once fined on the spot for missing the environmental protection label. Now I use a multi-functional static sticker set, which costs only ten yuan for twenty sheets at the supermarket. Three key reminders: the original label must be used instead of a copy, it should be placed within the top 30% area on the right side, and it must be clearly identifiable under strong light. Recently, many cities have implemented electronic labels. Last year, I received a text message notifying that the local environmental protection label posting has been canceled. It is recommended that car owners always pay attention to policy changes from the local vehicle management office.

As a car owner with seven years of driving experience, here's my practical advice on sticker placement: prioritize static cling stickers to avoid residue. New inspection stickers can be obtained three months before expiration. Compulsory insurance stickers are issued with the policy, and even with e-policies, you must print the physical sticker. I once got checked for not updating on time, so now I set phone reminders before expiration. Avoid placing stickers over windshield black dots or rain sensor areas - large stickers can be slightly overlapped. Pro tip: trim a transparent waterproof document sleeve as backing to prevent smearing during heavy rain. Enforcement varies regionally, so verify local requirements before cross-province road trips.
