Where to Collect the Inspection Exemption Label for Vehicles?
5 Answers
Vehicle inspection exemption labels can be obtained at the local vehicle management office or through the Traffic Management 12123 App without any fees. Below is some information about the inspection exemption label for vehicles: 1. Vehicle Management Office: If applying at the vehicle management office, the vehicle owner needs to bring the vehicle's driving license (original and copy), the ID card of the vehicle owner, the compulsory traffic insurance policy of the vehicle, and other relevant documents. Before processing, all traffic violation fines must be settled. 2. 12123 App: On the homepage of the Traffic Management App, find the 'Apply for Inspection Exemption Label' option, click on it, and then select the vehicle status option. Click 'Query,' and a prompt box for handling the annual inspection service will appear. Read the prompt information carefully, confirm, and click 'Continue Processing.' Fill in the vehicle information as required, review the prompt information, confirm, and click 'Next' to complete the application for the inspection exemption label.
I'm a window service staff, handling this business every day. The inspection exemption decal can now be obtained both online and offline. The online method is most convenient - download the 12123 APP, log in, click 'More' to find 'Apply for Inspection Exemption Decal', upload photos of your compulsory traffic insurance policy and vehicle/vessel tax certificate. After system approval, it will be mailed directly to your home. For offline processing, visit the vehicle management office or traffic police station service hall with your vehicle license, ID card, and valid compulsory traffic insurance policy, then fill out an application form on site. A small reminder: if your insurance policy is electronic, print it out in advance as backup. Some local postal outlets can also handle this for you - you can call to inquire about nearby outlets. Most importantly, don't make a wasted trip.
Last time I was sitting on the couch scrolling through my phone and easily handled the inspection exemption decal. Just log into the 12123 APP on your phone, scroll down the homepage to find 'Vehicle Services' under the business categories, and select 'Apply for Inspection Exemption Decal for Eligible Vehicles'. Follow the prompts to upload a photo of your valid compulsory insurance policy, making sure to clearly capture the page with the vehicle and vessel tax information. Fill in the mailing address and submit the application—I received the inspection exemption decal via postal express in just three days. The whole process took ten minutes, and I didn't even need to change my socks. The decal comes with adhesive backing; just peel it off and stick it on the top left corner of your windshield.
At our vehicle management office, car owners take time off every day just to collect the inspection exemption sticker, when it can actually be done online. Bring the original vehicle registration certificate, the owner's original ID card, and the compulsory traffic insurance policy in effect (note that it must include the vehicle and vessel tax information), then take a number and wait in line at the service hall. The staff will check whether the traffic violations under your name for this vehicle have been cleared. Many people don't know that if a new car within six years has had its body color changed without registration, or has been involved in a major accident, the system will show an abnormal status, and in such cases, you can only go through the inspection process. Remember to affix the sticker on the spot before leaving, so you don't forget later.
Regarding the exemption from inspection labels, the policy stipulates that new vehicles within six years do not need to undergo on-site testing, but the labels must still be applied for every two years. Some car owners mistakenly believe they don’t need to do anything at all, resulting in penalties. The key is to check the inspection validity period noted on the supplementary page of the vehicle license, and applications can be made within three months before the expiry date. For online processing, ensure that the mobile number bound to the 12123 APP is registered under your real name; otherwise, failing to receive verification codes can be troublesome. Currently, some cities have opened government service platforms to handle the process on behalf of owners, and Alipay also provides an entry for owner services, making the operation simpler than imagined without the need to visit the vehicle management office in person.
