Why does it still show as not inspected after passing the annual inspection?

Reasons why a vehicle that has undergone annual inspection does not show as inspected: Issues with the vehicle inspection station: It may be due to the high volume of vehicles being inspected, leading to some oversights. Solutions: Online verification: Log in to the local traffic police website and click on vehicle information inquiry. After the page opens, enter the license plate number and engine identification code (VIN), then click confirm. Once the page loads, all the vehicle's information will be displayed, including the inspection date and whether it has passed the annual inspection. Inquiry at the vehicle management office or violation processing hall: Bring your ID card, driver's license, and vehicle registration certificate to the violation processing hall and submit the documents to the staff for inquiry.
I encountered the same situation during my last vehicle inspection. The system update takes time after the inspection, usually 3-7 days for the data to sync with the traffic police system. Don't panic, first check if the annual inspection sticker is properly affixed to the windshield and keep the paper certificate safe. Recently, many car owners have experienced delays in status updates on the 12123 APP. If the abnormal status persists after half a month, remember to bring your vehicle license and inspection report to the DMV window to refresh the data. When encountering roadside checks, just show the documents - it's been confirmed that no points will be deducted. Also, some third-party query platforms have slower data retrieval, so it's recommended to check the status directly on the traffic management system.
Honestly, data delay is the most common issue. After the inspection station uploads the data, it goes through multiple layers of processing at the municipal and provincial platforms, especially slower during peak periods like month-end or year-start. Last week, my neighbor's vehicle took five days to update. Here's what you can do: First, check the anti-counterfeiting QR code in the top-left corner of the inspection slip. If it scans successfully, it means the annual inspection is valid. If you're in a hurry to handle traffic violations, take the inspection report to the traffic police station to manually update the status. By the way, here's a little tip: In some regions, checking the annual inspection status through Alipay's 'City Services' is faster than the official app.
This issue typically falls into three scenarios: First, it might just be a system delay, and waiting a couple more days should resolve it. Second, there could be an error in the submitted information, such as a mistyped letter in the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number). Third, the testing station's network might have failed, causing the data not to be transmitted successfully. The most extreme case I've seen was when the testing station's printer broke down and didn't issue the inspection sticker, leading the car owner to believe the process was complete. My advice is to confirm three things before leaving the inspection site: obtaining the annual inspection sticker, the stamped inspection sheet, and the payment receipt. If any document is missing, make sure to get it rectified on the spot.
