What procedures are required for motorcycle inspection in another location?
2 Answers
For motorcycle inspection in another location, the owner needs to obtain a vehicle inspection authorization notice from the vehicle registration office at the place of registration, have the vehicle inspected, and print the inspection certificate. After the inspection is completed, the inspection information will be transmitted back to the vehicle registration office via the internet. Before applying for motorcycle inspection: All traffic violations and accidents involving the motorcycle must be resolved. For motorcycle inspection in another location: An inspection authorization notice must be obtained. This notice must be issued by the vehicle registration office at the place of registration. Without this notice, the vehicle cannot be inspected in another location. The owner does not necessarily have to go in person to obtain the notice; relatives or friends can go to the registration office on their behalf.
Last year, while on a business trip out of town, I conveniently handled my motorcycle annual inspection, which was quite hassle-free. First, prepare the necessary documents: original ID card, vehicle license, and a copy of the compulsory traffic insurance policy—none of these can be omitted. It’s advisable to submit an online application for an out-of-town inspection delegation a week in advance, such as through the Traffic Management 12123 App. Once approved, simply print the confirmation. When visiting the local inspection station, leave early to avoid peak hours and long queues. The inspection process includes testing lights, brake performance, and safety devices, taking about an hour. If your bike has minor issues like worn tires, it’s best to fix them beforehand to avoid a wasted trip. Costs vary by location, typically around a hundred yuan, saving both time and money compared to returning to your home jurisdiction. Remember to bring a spare helmet in case a riding test is required.
