Can parking tickets be handled online?
3 Answers
Parking tickets can be handled online. Here is some relevant information about parking ticket penalties: 1. Limitations of online processing: Both point deductions and fines can be handled online, but point deductions can only be applied to your own driver's license. If you need to use someone else's license to deduct points, you must go to the traffic police station. Only violations that do not involve point deductions can be processed online. For violations involving fines, you need to go to the traffic police station. The violation record will be cleared 24 hours after the penalty is processed. 2. Parking ticket penalty regulations: After receiving a parking ticket, the vehicle owner must accept the penalty as required, which typically involves a 200-yuan fine without point deductions.
When I first got a parking ticket, I was really anxious too. A colleague taught me to just handle it directly on the 12123 app—it was a lifesaver! After downloading, registering, and linking my license plate and driver's license, the violation record popped up right away. You can pay the fine online without even going to the bank, using WeChat Pay or Alipay. But remember, only violations within 12 points can be handled online; anything beyond that requires an in-person visit. Before processing, double-check the ticket photos and license plate number—a friend of mine rushed and entered the wrong letters, wasting 200 yuan for nothing. After handling it, keep the electronic receipt in the app; the record usually clears within three days.
Handling traffic tickets online depends on the specific regulations of your city. In Beijing and Shanghai, I've used both the traffic police official website and local government service platforms, with similar procedures: log in, locate the traffic violation processing module, and enter the penalty decision number. However, some smaller cities have slower system updates, so check if online processing channels are available. When handling, pay close attention to whether points will be deducted—processing point deductions on the 12123 platform requires linking a driver's license. Fines can only be paid with your own bank card; payments made by friends will fail. Here's a lesser-known tip: the system might not display newly issued parking tickets within 24 hours, so don't waste data refreshing repeatedly if you're in a hurry.
