What to Do If the Annual Inspection Sticker Is Accidentally Torn?
1 Answers
The torn annual inspection sticker can be reissued. The vehicle owner should bring the original and photocopy of their ID card, the original and photocopy of the vehicle registration certificate to the local vehicle management office for reissuance. They need to fill out the application form for reissuance of the annual inspection sticker, pay the manual fee, and then they can affix the new annual inspection sticker. Below are the specific details about vehicle annual inspection: 1. Meaning of Annual Inspection: Vehicle annual inspection refers to a mandatory test for every vehicle that has obtained an official license plate and registration certificate. It is equivalent to an annual physical examination for the vehicle according to the "Technical Conditions for Motor Vehicle Operation Safety." 2. Exemption Policy: Non-commercial small private passenger vehicles with 7 seats or less (including 7 seats) are exempt from on-site inspection for 6 years. This means the vehicle is exempt from the physical inspection, but the owner still needs to have the exhaust emissions tested within the specified period (usually 2 years). After passing the test, they must apply for the inspection exemption mark at the vehicle management office, vehicle registration service station, or traffic police substation and affix it to the upper right corner of the vehicle's front windshield. 3. Scope of Exemption Policy: The 6-year exemption policy for non-commercial passenger vehicles and other vehicles has been in trial implementation since September 1, 2014. Vehicles registered on or after September 1, 2012, can be exempted twice; vehicles registered between September 1, 2010, and August 31, 2012, can be exempted once; vehicles registered before August 31, 2010, are still subject to the original inspection regulations for annual review.
