Where to Get the Vehicle Annual Inspection Sticker?
2 Answers
Vehicle annual inspection stickers can be obtained at the vehicle management office or traffic police station. Below are relevant details about the annual inspection: 1. Conditions: Vehicles whose condition does not match the records in the driving license or vehicle file, or whose license plates and driving licenses are damaged, incomplete, illegible, or self-made. 2. Precautions: The vehicle's exterior must not be modified. The color of window tinting or sunshade film should not be too dark (items inside the vehicle should be visible from one meter away; mainly applies to vans and trucks, but not to 5-seat or smaller passenger cars). Vans and trucks must have enlarged rear license plate numbers. The number of spring leafs must not be increased or decreased. The number of seats in a van must not be altered. A fire extinguisher is required. The cargo compartment of a box truck must not be modified (no side doors, no roof openings, no tailgate additions). Tire size must not be altered, and tires on the same axle must have the same tread pattern. Vehicles with unresolved traffic violations or those impounded by the court cannot undergo annual inspection.
I just got my car's first-year inspection sticker, and the whole process was quite simple. I drove to the inspection station and queued up. The staff thoroughly checked the lights, brakes, etc. After everything was confirmed to be in order, they issued the new sticker to me at the front desk and reminded me to stick it on the inside of the windshield. It's advisable to make an appointment in advance or arrive early in the morning to avoid peak hours and save time waiting in line. That time, I forgot to bring my vehicle registration, so I had to go home to get it and queue again. So, I remind everyone to bring all necessary documents, including your ID card and insurance policy, to avoid a wasted trip. Before the inspection, it's best to check your bulbs and tire pressure yourself to ensure you pass in one go.
