2.What documents are necessary for a mandatory inspection?
For sedans, please bring the vehicle registration and the motor insurance certificate, which must be valid for at least 30 days. For other types of vehicles, please bring the new license plate registration.
3.My stolen car has been found, and I want to renew the license plate registration. Why am I required to undergo another mandatory inspection?
According to the Ministry of Transportation and Communications, found stolen vehicles must be inspected before they can be used again.

  1. Vehicle owners who failed to apply for the compulsory automobile insurance prescribed by law
  2. The validity of the insurance is less than 30 days.These rules shall not apply to applications for temporary license plate registration or temporary harbor pass.

5.When should a mandatory inspection be done?

The date of the next mandatory inspection is shown in the registration. Vehicle owners can get the mandatory inspection up to one month before or after that day. If the last day of eligibility is a holiday, the deadline is extended to the next business day.
