What to Do If the Vehicle License Lacks an Inspection Validity Period?

Owner should bring the power of attorney, vehicle license, compulsory traffic insurance policy to the motor vehicle inspection station at the testing location for vehicle inspection. Review the inspection mark application form, compulsory traffic accident liability insurance certificate, vehicle and vessel tax payment or tax exemption certificate, as well as records of traffic violations and accident handling. Upon passing inspection, directly apply for the inspection compliance mark or file the motor vehicle inspection mark application form into the vehicle's records.
No inspection expiration date on the vehicle license? This commonly occurs when the annual vehicle inspection has expired or the inspection label has fallen off. I've encountered this situation before—try recalling the last inspection date to confirm if it's overdue. Once confirmed, avoid driving the vehicle as it poses significant risks; getting caught could result in fines ranging from hundreds to thousands of yuan plus penalty points. Head to the DMV immediately for a re-inspection, bringing the original vehicle license, ID card, and a copy of the insurance policy. The re-inspection process is straightforward—staff will check the vehicle's condition, and you're done. Stay patient throughout; sometimes queues are long but move quickly. Safety comes first—annual inspections ensure basics like brakes and lights function properly, and neglecting them increases accident risks. Don’t delay too long; the longer overdue, the more complicated the process becomes, potentially affecting insurance claim efficiency. In short, act swiftly—towing the car to a professional facility is the safest and most cost-effective approach.
