Where to Collect the Vehicle Annual Inspection Sticker?
2 Answers
Vehicle annual inspection stickers can be collected at the local vehicle management office. Below are the inspection schedules and precautions for vehicle annual inspections: Vehicle annual inspection schedules: For passenger transport vehicles, inspections are conducted once a year within the first 5 years, and every 6 months thereafter. For cargo vehicles and large or medium-sized non-passenger transport vehicles, inspections are conducted once a year within the first 10 years, and every 6 months thereafter. For small and mini non-passenger transport vehicles, inspections are conducted once every 2 years within the first 6 years, once a year thereafter, and every 6 months after 15 years. Precautions for vehicle annual inspections: Before the inspection, ensure all traffic violations are settled and fines are paid. Bring the vehicle registration certificate, a copy of the compulsory traffic insurance policy, and the owner's ID card for the inspection.
I remember last year when I got my car's annual inspection done, I received the sticker directly at the testing station. I had booked the appointment in advance, drove to a nearby testing station, and after completing a series of checks like brake and emissions tests, the staff immediately affixed the inspection sticker for me and reminded me to place it on the upper right corner of the windshield. The whole process went smoothly and took just a morning to complete. However, now many places have switched to digital versions, and you can even view the sticker photo in an app, saving the hassle of queuing up for a physical sticker. Everyone should remember to bring their vehicle registration and ID card. If the inspection fails and you don't get the sticker, you'll have to fix the car and go for a re-inspection. I think it's important to check if the sticker is updated before driving—otherwise, you might get fined if stopped by authorities, which would be more trouble than it's worth.
