Where to Handle Vehicle Annual Inspection?
2 Answers
Vehicle annual inspection is handled at the vehicle management office. The required documents include: 1. Copy of compulsory traffic insurance; 2. Original vehicle license and road & bridge card; 3. First copy of road & bridge ticket; 4. Copy of the owner's ID card; 5. The vehicle itself. Annual inspection refers to a routine examination conducted on a yearly basis, primarily focusing on the safety inspection of the vehicle. This includes a comprehensive check of the horn, brakes, axle weight, chassis, ignition system, lighting system, exhaust system, and license plate installation. Precautions for the annual inspection are: 1. Start the vehicle in advance in the external inspection area for preheating; 2. The owner should clean the vehicle body in advance before the inspection; 3. Restore the original state of the headlights before the annual inspection.
A while ago, I went through the annual inspection for my car at a local vehicle inspection station, which is not too far from my home—just about a ten-minute drive. There are several authorized stations designated by the traffic police department. I made an online reservation in advance. When I arrived, I presented my vehicle license and ID card, and the staff checked things like the lights and brakes. The whole process took about half an hour. I recommend you also find a nearby inspection station to avoid long queues. It’s more convenient and faster to make a reservation on the official WeChat public account, especially on weekends when it’s crowded. Remember to bring the payment receipt, as some places also support online payment to avoid the hassle of forgetting cash.
