Where to Collect the New Vehicle Inspection Sticker?
3 Answers
Here is the relevant information about collecting the new vehicle inspection sticker: 1. Collect the new vehicle inspection sticker at the local vehicle management office: After completing the inspection at the vehicle management office, they will issue the inspection sticker. Note that privately-owned vehicles exempt from inspection for 6 years need to collect the inspection sticker every 2 years. You can go to the vehicle management office or the traffic police station. Choose the nearest one for convenience. 2. Collection details: Before the inspection, ensure all traffic violations are handled and fines are paid. Bring the vehicle license, copy of the compulsory traffic insurance policy, and the owner's ID card for the inspection. When purchasing compulsory traffic insurance for the vehicle, you can directly use the copy of the insurance to apply for the inspection exemption procedure. The compulsory traffic insurance also includes the record of the vehicle and vessel tax. Note: Do not leave the original copy with the vehicle management office, as it will be needed for future insurance claims.
I just finished handling the annual inspection for my new car. Nowadays, everything is basically digitized, and the Traffic Management 12123 APP is the main platform for obtaining the inspection label. For the first 6 years, new cars don't need to undergo on-site testing, but you must apply for an electronic inspection label every 2 years. Open the APP homepage and find the 'Exempt Vehicle Inspection Label Application' entry, then upload photos of the compulsory traffic insurance and vehicle and vessel tax as prompted. The background review is automatic and passes in seconds. Remember to pay off any traffic fines in advance and ensure your insurance is within the validity period. After approval, the electronic label is automatically linked to your license plate number, and you don't need to stick it on the windshield. Last year, I forgot to upload the insurance policy and had to re-upload it the next day, but it was quickly resolved. If you really don't want to use your phone, you can also go to the vehicle management office window with the owner's ID card, vehicle registration certificate, and compulsory insurance policy, but the long queues make it much slower than using the phone.
I've helped my cousin with this before. For new vehicles within six years, there are two ways to obtain the inspection label: online or offline. The most convenient online method is using the Traffic Management 12123 app. After registering and logging in, click on 'Motor Vehicle Services' and then 'Apply for Inspection Exemption Label for Exempt Vehicles'. Clearly photograph and upload the valid compulsory traffic insurance policy and vehicle and vessel tax certificate. Note that the policy date must cover the application date—last year someone wasted a trip to the DMV with an expired policy. For offline processing, bring the original vehicle registration certificate, the owner's original ID card, and a valid compulsory insurance policy to the DMV or inspection station. Some post offices in certain cities now also handle this. A crucial point: the supplementary page of the registration certificate must have space for endorsement—last time I ran an errand for a neighbor, we had to get a replacement certificate first because the supplementary page was full.
