Where to Obtain the Environmental Protection Label for a New Car?
2 Answers
New car environmental protection labels can be obtained at the Environmental Protection Bureau. Below is detailed information about vehicle environmental protection labels: 1. Overview: The vehicle environmental protection label is a grading emblem issued by the state for motor vehicle emission standards, categorized into yellow and green types. Relevant authorities conduct reviews based on vehicle models and emission standards, issuing the environmental protection label upon approval. The purpose of establishing these labels is to facilitate energy-saving and emission-reduction inspections, as well as periodic environmental checks for vehicles. 2. Issuance Principles: (1) Gasoline Vehicles: Those meeting the National Phase I Motor Vehicle Emission Standards receive green environmental protection labels. Vehicles in use that fail to meet National Phase I or higher emission standards are issued yellow environmental protection labels. (2) Diesel Vehicles: Those complying with National Phase III Motor Vehicle Emission Standards receive green environmental protection labels. Diesel vehicles in use that do not meet National Phase III or higher emission standards are issued yellow environmental protection labels.
I just bought a new car and didn't know where to get the environmental protection label. I called the salesperson at the 4S dealership, and they said it's usually handled together with vehicle registration at the local vehicle management office. So I took the car purchase invoice, ID card, and vehicle qualification certificate to the vehicle management office, waited in line, and the staff checked the documents before affixing the label to the front windshield on the spot. The whole process took about an hour, and there were quite a few people, so I recommend going early to avoid the queue. If you don't collect it on time, it might affect future annual inspections. It's best to complete this within a week of purchasing the car and not delay it for too long.
