Can the vehicle still be checked on 12123 after the transfer of ownership?

After the transfer of ownership, the vehicle cannot be checked on 12123. The following is the specific process for vehicle transfer: 1. Submit a relocation application: Go to the vehicle management office to submit an application for relocation, obtain a tracing number card and wait for tracing, and specify that it is for relocation or transfer. 2. Submit the required documents: Go to the corresponding window to submit the relocation authorization letter, 'Motor Vehicle Transfer Application Form', vehicle license, vehicle plate, and other documents required by the local vehicle management office, then pay the corresponding fees and receive a receipt. 3. Collect the vehicle file: After 3 working days of submitting the plate, bring the receipt to the main office of the vehicle management office to collect the vehicle file, which includes the 'Motor Vehicle Transfer Application Form', vehicle inspection form, chassis number, vehicle license, and vehicle photos. 4. Surrender the original plate and license: For vehicles that pass the inspection, the original plate and license will be surrendered, and the change registration column in the license and 'Motor Vehicle Registration Application Form' will be noted with 'Transferred to the Vehicle Management Office of the Public Security Department (Bureau) of a certain province and location', stamped with the issuing authority's seal, and placed in the file along with the 'Motor Vehicle Transfer Notice', then handed over to the owner.
I just helped a friend with the transfer of a used car, so I'm quite familiar with the process. After the car ownership is transferred, the original owner can no longer see the car's information on the 12123 APP, since the vehicle license and green book (registration certificate) have been updated with the new owner's name. However, the new owner needs to act quickly: first, download the 12123 APP, register an account using the new owner's ID card, then bind the vehicle under the 'Motor Vehicle' section by entering the new license plate number and engine number. After the system review is completed, which usually takes about one or two days, you can check for traffic violations and annual inspection information. If you're in a hurry, you can visit the vehicle management office to refresh the data directly. Never use the old account to check the transferred car—it's a waste of time.
