Can I still check the vehicle registration cancellation on 12123?

You can still check the vehicle registration cancellation record on 12123 after the vehicle has been deregistered. Registered vehicle scrapping: When a registered motor vehicle reaches the mandatory scrapping standard set by the state, the traffic management department of the public security organ shall notify the vehicle owner to complete the deregistration process 2 months before the scrapping deadline. Failure to complete deregistration on time: If the vehicle owner fails to complete the deregistration process on time, the traffic management department of the public security organ shall announce the invalidation of the vehicle registration certificate, license plate, and driving license. The motor vehicle files will be canceled. After cancellation, if the vehicle owner applies for deregistration, it shall be processed according to the vehicle scrapping deregistration procedure.
I've dealt with vehicle deregistration before. After deregistration, the car really can't be found on the 12123 App. I tried entering the old license plate number, and the system directly prompted 'no records found'. This is completely normal – the platform only manages information of active vehicles. After deregistration, the data gets archived in the backend system and is no longer publicly displayed. The purpose is to keep the interface clean and avoid cluttering searches with outdated information. If you absolutely need to check, you can visit the DMV for manual archive inquiries. I remember my friend forgot about this after selling his car and wasted a lot of time before realizing the App isn't the right tool for checking deregistered vehicles. It's best to confirm the vehicle's status before any operations.
Regarding the 12123 platform design, it removes records from the online database after vehicle deregistration to ensure users only see data for active vehicles. I've previously analyzed similar systems where information retention is for efficient management and reduced system burden. It's reasonable that deregistered vehicles can't be found, as the platform optimizes resource allocation. If needed, such as for insurance processing or proof, it's advisable to directly print historical documents from the DMV as a backup, which is more reliable. This data privacy also ensures security and prevents misoperations.
After a vehicle is deregistered, it will no longer be visible in the 12123 App. According to traffic regulations, deregistration means the vehicle is no longer registered, and its data is automatically hidden. In practical operations, I've encountered that the platform only processes active vehicles to allow drivers to quickly check their status. Once deregistered, the information is transferred to archives, so online queries will return no results.
