Can I Handle Traffic Violations Without a Driver's License?
2 Answers
Handling traffic violations generally requires a driver's license. Here is the relevant information for processing vehicle violations: 1. Documents required for violation processing: You need to provide the original and a copy of the vehicle owner's ID card. If points are to be deducted, a driver's license is also required. If you do not bring your driver's license, points can still be deducted, but you must bring your ID card to the traffic police department for inquiry. 2. Notes on violation processing: If you have no objections to the violation, after completing the point deduction on your driver's license, you will receive a violation processing notice and a fine ticket. You can take the violation ticket to the designated bank to pay the fine. All processed traffic violations must have their fines paid within 15 days. After processing the violation, keep the receipt of the fine payment.
A few years ago, I once drove to a traffic violation processing point but forgot to bring my driver's license. The staff directly said no—without a license, they couldn't verify my identity, so the violation couldn't be processed. I had to go back dejectedly to fetch it. Later, I learned my lesson and now always keep my license in the car. But with today's advanced technology, you can just log into the Traffic Management 12123 App, upload your info online, and handle violations without needing the physical license at all. The app is real-name verified, making it super convenient. The key to processing violations is identity verification—forgetting your physical license is like not having a key to open a door. I recommend new drivers familiarize themselves with online methods in advance to avoid wasted trips. If violations pile up unprocessed, fines might increase and even affect your annual vehicle inspection. Safety first—having all your documents in order is always the right move.
