Visit the local vehicle management office or inspection station to obtain the inspection compliance sticker. Below is relevant information about the inspection compliance sticker: 1. Function: Serves as proof that the in-use motor vehicle meets emission standards; Acts as the basis for confirming the periodic environmental inspection cycle for in-use vehicles; Provides the basis for relevant authorities to manage environmental compliance of in-use vehicles; 2. Access Permit: Under high-emission vehicle traffic control measures, serves as proof for vehicles to enter restricted zones, i.e., motor vehicles with a "Green Label" meet tailpipe emission standards and are allowed to enter restricted roads and areas; Motor vehicles with a "Yellow Label" are prohibited from entering restricted roads and areas due to severe tailpipe emissions pollution.
I also had to make several trips myself to figure out where to get the vehicle inspection sticker. It's mainly done at the local DMV or designated motor vehicle inspection stations—each district usually has one or two. You need to bring your ID card, vehicle registration, and compulsory traffic insurance policy. Fill out a form on-site, and you can get it. Making an appointment in advance can help avoid long queues—I've seen people wait half a day during peak times. Remember, the sticker must be placed on the upper right corner of the windshield to be valid, or the police might issue a fine. Besides in-person visits, some places offer online services where you can upload documents via the official website or app, and the sticker will be mailed to you. Personally, I think the DMV is the most reliable because they issue it directly and for free—don’t trust those agencies that charge high fees. In short, getting this annual inspection done regularly is crucial for both safety and extending your car’s lifespan.
