Where to Replace the Annual Inspection Sticker?
2 Answers
Vehicle annual inspection stickers can be replaced at the local vehicle management office. How to affix the annual inspection sticker: According to Article 13 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China": "The motor vehicle inspection qualification mark and insurance mark shall be affixed to the upper right corner of the front window of the motor vehicle." It is recommended to use a static cling sticker to affix the annual inspection mark, either horizontally or vertically, but attention should be paid to the front and back sides. The back side of the annual inspection mark should adhere to the static cling sticker, with the front side facing the glass. When affixing, try to make it as flat as possible, squeeze out any bubbles, and avoid it falling off. Electronic Annual Inspection Sticker: Vehicles eligible for the electronic inspection mark can obtain the electronic inspection mark through the exemption inspection vehicle mark application process. Once successfully applied, it can be downloaded and saved on a mobile phone for easy presentation and use even when the phone is offline.
I'm a young driver, and last time I went to get my annual inspection sticker, I headed straight to the DMV—that's the official designated spot. Once inside, I had to queue up first, bringing my ID card, vehicle registration, and insurance documents. The staff checked everything quite thoroughly. It's best to go early because it can take a long time when it's crowded, but the process is straightforward—once the documents are verified, they issue the new sticker. I also heard that authorized inspection stations can do it, but they have to be the legitimate ones. Remember to place the sticker in the correct position on the lower right corner of the windshield without obstructing the view. Letting it expire is a hassle—light penalties or even getting your car towed—so make sure to renew it on time every year. By the way, don’t leave tools or other items scattered in the car; they might check the sticker more easily. This kind of thing shouldn’t be delayed—going to the DMV is both reliable and hassle-free.
