Where to Collect the New Vehicle Inspection Sticker?
4 Answers
New vehicle inspection stickers can be collected at the local vehicle management office. Below is relevant information about vehicle inspections: 1. Inspection Regulations: Private vehicles within 6 years of registration can enjoy an exemption policy, requiring only a biennial collection of the inspection sticker. For private vehicles over 6 years old, the inspection sticker must be obtained annually after passing an inspection at a vehicle inspection center. 2. Inspection Sticker: Currently, electronic inspection stickers have been implemented nationwide. Vehicle owners can check, download, and use electronic inspection stickers via the "Traffic Management 12123" app. Vehicles that have already obtained an electronic inspection certificate do not need to apply for one at the vehicle management office or traffic police station.
I just received the new vehicle inspection sticker last year, so let me share my practical experience. New vehicles are exempt from on-site inspections for the first 6 years, but you still need to apply for the inspection sticker every two years. The most straightforward way is to go to the vehicle management office service hall with your ID card, vehicle registration certificate, and original compulsory traffic insurance policy, fill out an application form on-site, and you can get the paper sticker in about ten minutes. In some cities, you can also apply online through the Traffic Management 12123 App, and after approval, it will be mailed to your home. However, first-time users might need to familiarize themselves with the process. Remember to affix the sticker to the upper right corner of the windshield after receiving it, as police officers will check for it. Nowadays, some regions are promoting electronic stickers, but it’s still best to keep a paper version as a backup.
Don't worry about the process being troublesome, it's actually quite simple. For the first time applying for the annual inspection sticker for a new car, you must go to the vehicle management office. Making an appointment in advance through the official public account can save you queuing time. You need to prepare three things: the owner's ID card, the vehicle registration certificate, and a copy of the compulsory traffic insurance that is still valid. When you go to the window to handle the procedure, the staff will verify the information and print the sticker for you on the spot. Remember to check if the license plate number and validity period on the sticker are correct. After receiving it, make sure to affix it on the same day. If the front windshield is dirty, clean it before sticking the sticker to prevent it from peeling. If you're caught driving without the sticker, you'll be penalized with points, which isn't worth it.
I just accompanied a friend to complete this process last month. The new vehicle first-inspection sticker can be collected at the DMV service hall. You need to bring your ID card, the original vehicle registration certificate, and a valid compulsory traffic insurance policy. Pay special attention to whether the compulsory insurance coverage date includes the application time - if it's expired, you'll need to renew it first. The procedure involves taking a number, submitting documents, signing for confirmation, and finally the staff will hand you the inspection sticker with adhesive backing. Remember to remove the backing film and stick it directly to the upper right corner of the windshield - some car owners put it on backwards and have to redo it. During peak periods there might be long queues, so it's recommended to avoid the beginning and end of the month when it's less crowded.
