Where is the inspection pass sticker placed?

The inspection pass sticker is placed on the upper right corner of the front windshield, serving as proof that the vehicle has passed the exhaust emission test. The prerequisite for obtaining the inspection pass sticker is that the vehicle qualifies for the six-year exemption policy (applies to passenger vehicles with seven seats or fewer). You need to collect the inspection pass sticker from the local vehicle management office or testing station. Required documents include the compulsory traffic insurance policy, ID card, and vehicle registration certificate. The process for obtaining the inspection pass sticker: 1. For personal collection, simply bring the relevant documents under the owner's name; 2. If delegating to someone else, the authorized person must bring their original ID card and a written authorization letter signed by the vehicle owner, then complete the 'Motor Vehicle Inspection Application Form' at the vehicle management office.

As a veteran driver with over 20 years of experience, I've personally witnessed the changes in the placement of vehicle inspection stickers. We used to casually stick the annual inspection decal and insurance decal together at the lower right corner of the windshield. However, traffic regulations later clearly specified that they should be affixed to the upper right corner of the windshield directly in front of the passenger seat, 1-3 cm from the edge. This position neither obstructs the driver's view nor hinders police officers from checking them from outside the vehicle. Remember to use static cling stickers for easy replacement without damaging the glass. Before changing stickers each time, I always thoroughly clean residual adhesive with alcohol wipes - after all, the windshield stays with us for over a decade. While electronic tags are gradually being adopted, traditional paper stickers still require careful handling during this transition period.

According to Article 13 of the Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law, the motor vehicle inspection compliance label must be affixed in a visible position at the upper right corner of the windshield. I have specifically consulted the traffic management manual, and the selection of this position is based on scientific reasoning. The upper right corner is located in the area with the smallest visual blind spot for the driver and provides a buffer space from the rearview mirror. Many car owners mistakenly affix it at the lower right corner, which not only violates regulations but may also result in the license plate being mistakenly obscured in camera shots. It is important to note that electric vehicles often have sensors along the window edges, and improper placement may trigger alarms. It is recommended to use static cling films without adhesive residue, as they comply with regulations and are easy to replace. The new regulations state that electronic labels hold the same validity as paper labels, but if the local vehicle management office has not fully transitioned to digitalization, proper affixation is still required.

The inspection sticker must be affixed to the upper right corner of the windshield! This is particularly important. I've seen too many cases where people got into trouble for placing it incorrectly. Old Wang next door stuck the sticker in the middle of the windshield and was fined 200 yuan by traffic police. Others placed it in front of the steering wheel, causing glare that affected driving. The correct position is the area directly in front of the passenger seat, avoiding the rain sensor and rearview mirror bracket, leaving a 1 cm space from the edge. Nowadays, these stickers come with self-adhesive backing—just peel and press smoothly onto the surface. When replacing the sticker annually, use adhesive remover to clean old residue; never scrape with a knife as it may scratch the glass, leading to greater damage.

Sticking the inspection sticker seems simple but involves great knowledge. The optimal position is the upper right corner of the windshield on the passenger side, which neither obstructs the driver's view nor hinders inspection. In practice, many people misalign it. It's recommended to peel off a small portion of the backing first, align and fix the position, then fully peel and press. I prefer placing the annual inspection and insurance stickers together in a transparent card sleeve, secured with static cling stickers for easy replacement by simply swapping cards. In summer heat, the adhesive can melt, so regularly check for peeling edges. Some regions now implement electronic inspection marks viewable via the Traffic Management 12123 App, but during the transition period, paper versions must still be displayed as required.
