Vehicle annual inspection requires the "Motor Vehicle Regular Inspection Form", the owner's ID card or household register, the third-party liability insurance certificate, and the motor vehicle driving license. Below is the relevant introduction to vehicle annual inspection: 1. Inspection time: The owner of the motor vehicle can apply for the inspection qualification mark at the vehicle management office of the registration place within three months before the expiration of the motor vehicle inspection validity period (small cars after September 2012 are inspected every 6 years). The inspection time is within three months before the annual registration date of the driving license expires. 2. Materials: Before the annual inspection, check the validity date of the compulsory traffic insurance that includes the vehicle and vessel tax. If it has expired or will expire within three months after the inspection date, it is recommended to renew it in advance. The ID card of the owner or the agent; the vehicle driving license.
I just had my vehicle inspected last week, and the process was quite smooth. Remember to bring the original vehicle license, a copy of the owner's ID card, and for company vehicles, the organization code certificate is required. Make sure the duplicate copy of the compulsory traffic insurance policy is within the validity period—don’t forget this. Before heading out, it’s best to check for any traffic violations on the 12123 APP and clear any outstanding fines to avoid a wasted trip. At the inspection station, queue up first, and the staff will check the lights, brake pads, and tire treads. Older vehicles also undergo an emissions test. My eight-year-old car took about half an hour for inspection, and the emissions were almost over the limit—luckily, I had replaced the spark plugs beforehand. The inspection fee was just over 200 yuan, and after scanning the Alipay QR code to pay, the annual inspection sticker was printed directly. New car owners, take note: vehicles within six years are exempt from on-site inspection; you can simply apply for the electronic sticker via the APP.
