Where to Collect the Annual Inspection Sticker for a New Car?
2 Answers
New car owners can collect the annual inspection sticker at the vehicle management office. Here are some important points to note when collecting the annual inspection sticker: 1. Bring all required materials: Bring the duplicate copy of the compulsory traffic insurance (provided by the insurance company when purchasing insurance, usually an A4 sheet), the vehicle license (make one copy), and a copy of your ID card (or the agent's ID card) to the traffic police department service hall. Fill out a form, submit the vehicle license and ID card copy, and the motor vehicle inspection qualification sticker will be issued shortly. 2. Important notes: (1) If the original third copy of the compulsory traffic accident liability insurance certificate is lost, you can submit a copy of any other copy with the insurance company's seal. If the original was already archived during the last inspection sticker issuance, submit a copy of any other copy. (2) If someone is handling this on your behalf, they must also provide their original ID card and a copy, along with a power of attorney.
I just bought a new car, and getting the annual inspection sticker is very simple—the DMV gave it when I registered the license plate. During new car registration, bring your ID, purchase invoice, and vehicle certification to the local DMV, and they will directly issue the inspection sticker to be placed on the windshield, as new cars are exempt from inspection for the first few years but the sticker must still be displayed. If you miss receiving it during registration, you can always go back to the DMV to get a replacement without extra hassle. I recommend downloading the Traffic Management 12123 app, where you can check sticker details and access a digital version, making it easy to renew online for future inspections and avoid queuing. Remember, with a new car, don’t rush to worry about inspection—just focus on getting the license plate sorted first. Road safety comes first, and a clear sticker helps avoid being stopped by traffic police.
