First registration in the eight urban districts: 1000; thereafter, the annual inspection period is from May 1 to June 30, with a fee of 500.
First registration in the suburbs: 400, then 200 per year.
With an invoice, you can go to the police station's designated pet hospital for a free six-in-one vaccination. Some communities also provide free injections, but an invoice is definitely required.

The police explanation is: invoices are submitted collectively after the annual inspection period ends. Then you’ll have to pay for the injection yourself, which costs 60 yuan per shot.
