Where to Handle Vehicle Annual Inspection?
2 Answers
Vehicle annual inspection can be handled at local vehicle inspection stations or the vehicle management office. Annual inspection refers to the annual or biennial safety inspection of vehicles, which includes a comprehensive check of components such as the horn, brakes, axle weight, chassis, ignition system, lighting system, exhaust system, and license plate installation. Vehicle owners can obtain the inspection report and application form from the inspector. If all inspection items pass, the owner can proceed to pay the inspection fee and collect the vehicle license and compliance label. If any items fail, the owner must repair the vehicle and undergo a re-inspection until all items pass before proceeding with the annual inspection. Failure to undergo the annual inspection on time may result in denied claims for accidents or lost vehicles, along with a fine of 200 yuan and a deduction of 3 points from the driving license.
I've been through the annual vehicle inspection many times, so let me briefly mention a few options. The most convenient is the motor vehicle inspection station, which is available in almost every county town—just search on Gaode Map to find one. There's an inspection station near our neighborhood where you can get it done; just bring your vehicle license and compulsory traffic insurance policy, drive there, and queue up. Remember to clear any traffic violations in advance, and if your car has been modified, it's best to restore it to its original condition. In some big cities, there are also vehicle management windows at government service centers, and repair shops designated by the traffic management bureau can handle the inspection for you. Oh, and now you can check nearby annual inspection points on the 12123 App, which even shows how long the queues are.
