Driving license, driver's license (one or more), compulsory insurance policy (copy), 100 yuan. The following is a related introduction about vehicle annual inspection: 1. Concept: Vehicle annual inspection refers to a mandatory test for every vehicle that has obtained an official license plate and driving license. It is equivalent to an annual physical examination for the vehicle according to the "Technical Conditions for Motor Vehicle Operation Safety", which helps to eliminate potential safety hazards in a timely manner, encourages enhanced vehicle maintenance, and reduces the occurrence of traffic accidents, commonly referred to as vehicle inspection. 2. Legal provisions: Vehicle annual inspection, commonly known as vehicle inspection, is stipulated in the relevant provisions of the "Road Traffic Safety Law Implementation Regulations". Motor vehicles should undergo safety technical inspections according to the following periods from the date of registration: passenger vehicles for operation should be inspected once a year within 5 years; after exceeding 5 years, they should be inspected every 6 months.
I recently had my private car inspected for its annual check-up, and the process went relatively smoothly. First, you need to bring the original vehicle license, which is the most basic proof of ownership. Don't forget the copy of the compulsory insurance policy, which the insurance company can provide as a printout. You'll also need proof of the owner's identity, such as a photocopy or the original ID card. It's best to make an appointment with the inspection station in advance to avoid long queues. The inspection station will check key components like the lights, brakes, and emissions. Once it passes, you'll receive the inspection report. Then, take the report to the vehicle management office to get the annual inspection sticker and pay a small fee. I recommend doing a quick self-check of the lights and brakes beforehand to avoid minor issues that could cause a failure and waste time and money. The whole process takes about half a day, so don't delay until it expires—otherwise, you might get into trouble if stopped by the authorities.
