12123 new car registration still requires a visit to the DMV. Definition of Traffic Management 12123: The Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) is a direct agency under the public security system, primarily responsible for handling motor vehicle registration, modification, transfer, mortgage, and cancellation. Generally, only county-level or higher administrative regions have DMVs. Position Supervision: Each motor vehicle and driver's license service position at the DMV has the obligation to supervise the work of the previous position. If there are questions about the procedures handed over from the previous position, or if business is conducted in violation of regulations, or if certificates and forms are filled out improperly or not signed and stamped as required, it should be reported to the supervisory position. The supervisory position should immediately investigate and handle the issue and keep a record of the handling.
I recently got my new car licensed, and using the 12123 Traffic Management App made things much easier. The app allows uploading documents and scheduling appointments, avoiding the hassle of queuing and form filling. However, the vehicle inspection still requires a personal visit to the DMV, as they need to verify physical details like the VIN and engine number, which the app can't fully replace. In big cities, some processes might be semi-online, like Hangzhou's pilot paperless registration, but core checks still require an in-person visit. It's recommended for beginners to fill in the info on the app first before going to reduce waiting time. Remember to bring all original documents, as sometimes additional materials are needed on-site even after passing the system pre-review. Overall, technology has advanced, but the safety-first approach remains unchanged.
As someone who follows automotive technology, I find the Traffic Management 12123 App quite useful for new car registration. It handles online appointments and document submissions, such as uploading ID cards and car purchase invoices, saving a lot of preliminary time. However, the physical vehicle inspection is a mandatory step—the DMV needs to personally verify the vehicle's authenticity, which the App cannot bypass. I've tried using it to assist, and the process was at least half an hour faster, but I still had to make a trip in the end. In smaller cities, everything might need to be done offline, so I recommend checking the App first to see what local features are supported. It would be even better if AI vehicle inspection could be integrated in the future. In short, the tool optimizes the process, but key steps still require personal involvement.
