Why doesn't the inspection result show up on 12123 after vehicle inspection?

In this case, no special action is required. You just need to wait patiently. It might be due to network latency or waiting for the traffic management 12123 system to update its data before the information becomes visible. Below is relevant information: Annual Inspection: Annual inspection refers to the safety examination conducted yearly or biennially on vehicles, including comprehensive checks on components such as horns, brakes, axle weight, chassis, ignition system, lighting system, exhaust system, and license plate installation. Inspection Intervals: Passenger vehicles for commercial use must be inspected annually within the first 5 years; after 5 years, every 6 months. Trucks and large/medium non-commercial passenger vehicles require annual inspections within the first 10 years; after 10 years, every 6 months. Small and mini non-commercial passenger vehicles must be inspected biennially within the first 6 years; annually after 6 years; every 6 months after 15 years. Motorcycles require biennial inspections within the first 4 years; annually thereafter. Tractors and other motor vehicles must be inspected annually.
Right after my vehicle inspection, the 12123 app didn’t update, so I rushed to the DMV in a panic to ask the staff. They explained that system synchronization takes time—internal DMV review and archiving takes half a day to a day, and then the data has to queue up to transfer to the provincial platform before syncing with 12123. Especially during peak periods like year-end, with thousands of vehicles’ data backlogged, waiting two or three days is normal. Don’t worry about the inspection results being invalid; the paper test report is already effective, and the 12123 delay is just for the digital record. If this happens, it’s best to wait first. If it still doesn’t update after three days, bring your vehicle license to the inspection station to check and manually re-upload the records—sometimes a quick data push fixes it. System maintenance days can slow things down further, so next time, try to avoid scheduling inspections on Mondays or month-ends.
