You need to prepare your ID card, vehicle license, and compulsory traffic insurance policy. The following is relevant information about vehicle inspection: 1. Concept: Also known as motor vehicle inspection. The inspection items and scope vary depending on the nature of the vehicle's use. The vehicle owner or unit must fill out the "Annual Vehicle Inspection Form" and send the vehicle to the designated location for annual inspection on the date specified by the local vehicle management office. After the vehicle passes the inspection, the vehicle management authority will affix a seal on the vehicle license and the "Annual Vehicle Inspection Form" indicating (Inspected and approved by ** Vehicle Management Office in ** year). 2. Legal basis: "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China".
As a frequent driver, I just had my annual vehicle inspection last year. The procedure is actually quite simple but requires patience. First, prepare the original copies of your ID card, driver's license, vehicle registration certificate, and a copy of the compulsory traffic insurance policy. Drive to an authorized inspection station nearby, preferably during off-peak hours like weekday mornings to avoid long queues. During the inspection, they'll check tire wear, headlight brightness, brake response, exhaust emissions, and other items. If the lights don't work or the brakes fail, you'll need to get them fixed and retested, so I recommend checking these key components at home beforehand to save time. After passing, pay the fee (usually 200-300 yuan) and get the annual inspection sticker to place on your windshield. The whole process takes about one to two hours. Regular inspections ensure vehicle safety and help avoid traffic fines.
