Where to Collect the Annual Inspection Sticker for a Newly Purchased Car?
2 Answers
If the vehicle qualifies for the six-year exemption from inspection, you don't need to drive the car there. Simply bring the vehicle registration certificate, the ID card of the person named on the registration, and a copy of the valid compulsory insurance policy. It's best to handle this within three months before the policy expires. If there's less than one month remaining, you can still proceed, but don't wait until it's expired. Here is additional information: According to relevant regulations, starting from October 2015, an on-site inspection is not required. However, the owner still needs to provide proof of compulsory traffic accident liability insurance, proof of payment or exemption of vehicle and vessel tax, and after settling any traffic violations or accidents, they can directly apply to the traffic management department for the inspection sticker.
I was also quite confused when I first bought a car. New vehicles are exempt from inspection lines for 6 years, but you need to collect the inspection compliance sticker every two years to prove the vehicle meets regulations. Don't worry, the most reliable option is to go to the local vehicle management office or traffic police station - just bring your ID card and original vehicle license. The process is quite fast, usually completed within half an hour, but don't forget to check if all materials are complete. Delays might result in fines or affect insurance claims, and could even lead to driving safety issues. I always check the official website notice one month in advance to avoid crowds and long queues. As a reminder, keeping your vehicle maintenance records updated can prevent future troubles and ensure worry-free driving - this comes from my personal experience.
