Things to note when vehicle registration expires
- First, you need to know the vehicle inspection time. Each type of car will have a different inspection time. Therefore, you should regularly check the registration book to remember the deadline and go to the vehicle inspection.
- Do not drive vehicles with expired registration: If a vehicle's registration is 1 day overdue, the driver or vehicle owner will be fined. When a vehicle's registration is overdue, it must be brought back to the inspection station and another means of transport must be used.
- Quickly re-register: If you discover that your vehicle's registration is about to expire, quickly take the vehicle to the nearest inspection station or center to re-register.
