Can any vehicle management office handle traffic violations?

Vehicle management offices cannot handle traffic violations; you need to go to the traffic police department for that. Documents required for handling traffic violations: Driver's license, vehicle registration certificate, ID card, and violation confirmation letter. You must complete the relevant procedures at the traffic police department. Generally, traffic violations must be processed in the location where the violation occurred. First, go to the vehicle management office to confirm and obtain the confirmation letter, then pay the fine at the designated bank. On-site violation handling process: Present the required documents to process the traffic violation. The staff will show you three photos of the violation scene on their computer to confirm the violation. Review the violation record, confirm the violation details, and then queue up to pay the fine.
Oh, about this, I had a traffic ticket myself last time and thought any vehicle management office could handle it. But when I went to one nearby, they said they only dealt with license plates and driver's licenses, not traffic violations. Later, I found out that in our area, vehicle management offices mainly handle vehicle registration and annual inspections, while traffic violations need to be processed at the traffic police station or designated traffic violation handling points, such as specific locations within the city's traffic police detachment or branch offices. Rules vary by location—some small-town offices might handle a bit of everything, but most don’t, so it’s best to check in advance. I recommend using the Traffic Management 12123 App first—just enter your license plate number to see the violation details and the designated handling point, saving you a wasted trip. Paying fines online is also convenient, avoiding long queues. If it’s a speeding or red-light violation caught by electronic surveillance, processing is even quicker. But if you were caught on the spot by a traffic officer, you’ll need to go to the branch office for verification. In short, don’t assume everything can be handled at the vehicle management office to avoid unnecessary delays.
