If the inspection validity period on the duplicate of the vehicle license expires, you can go to reapply and change the date. Here is some information about the vehicle license: 1. Introduction: The vehicle license is a legal document that permits a motor vehicle to drive on roads within China. 2. Composition: It consists of three parts: the license holder, the main page, and the duplicate page. The front of the main page is the signed core, the back is the vehicle photo, and the duplicate page is the signed core. 3. Application: The vehicle license is processed by the Vehicle Management Center and is used to verify the authenticity of vehicle information. Required documents include the vehicle license application form, road maintenance fee payment receipt, and registration documents from the Safety Committee.

I've encountered the issue of an expired duplicate driving license inspection validity period, and I must say this needs to be addressed promptly, otherwise the consequences can be serious. Driving on the road may result in being stopped by traffic police, fined, or even having your vehicle impounded. Insurance claims could also be affected. First step, quickly check if your vehicle can pass the annual inspection, such as basic safety items like lights and brakes. Then, prepare the necessary documents: bring your ID card, the original driving license, and a copy of the insurance policy, and head straight to the local vehicle management office or an authorized inspection station. The inspection process usually takes one to two hours, with a fee of around 100 yuan, and the records are updated on the spot upon passing. Remember, don’t delay too long—exceeding three months may result in mandatory license plate cancellation, which would make retaking the driving test even more troublesome. Set a calendar reminder on your phone to avoid the year-end peak period and save yourself from long queues. Safety first—regular vehicle maintenance can prevent this issue.
