Here is the introduction to the method of lifting the seizure status of the driver's license: 1. Active cooperation: Go to the vehicle management office at the place of seizure to receive the relevant penalties and then collect the driver's license; do not drive, actively cooperate with the traffic police to handle your license issues, and strive to retrieve your driver's license as soon as possible; if the license has been revoked for two years, you can directly apply to the driving school to retake the test without needing to go through other procedures; wait until the time comes to retrieve it, during which you cannot drive, the seizure will be automatically lifted when it expires, and then you can get your license back, but you still cannot drive temporarily until the scoring cycle is over. Check the status of your driver's license at the vehicle management office, and ask the police for answers on how to handle the current status. After the process is completed, the driver's license will return to normal status. 2. Study: Carry the Traffic Violation Full Score Education Notice for motor vehicle drivers, your identity proof, motor vehicle driver's license or temporary seizure certificate, and register at the vehicle management office's acceptance window within 15 days to receive the full score study notice. Attend the full score education study on time. 3. Test: After completing the study, collect the subject one test reservation certificate, carry your identity proof and the subject one test reservation certificate, and attend the subject one test on time. If you fail the traffic violation full 12-point test, rebook and attend the test at the specified time and place.

This needs to be looked at separately: Clearing points just means your scoring cycle has reset automatically, but the suspension is because you haven't dealt with previous violations. Veteran drivers around me all know that suspension is usually caused by serious violations like drunk driving, hit-and-run accidents, or accumulating 12 points. You need to go to the traffic police station first to handle all penalties, then attend full-score education—my buddy last year spent seven days just on the learning part, and finally passed the subject one test to get his license back. Don't rush to drive, check the status on the Traffic Management 12123 App for the most accurate info. If you see words like 'unprocessed violations' or 'temporary suspension,' hurry to the DMV.

Clearing points on your driver's license and having it confiscated are completely different things! Clearing points is like your phone automatically resetting data usage, while confiscation means the police have taken your license. There are generally three situations that lead to confiscation: either you were caught drunk driving, you've maxed out your 12-point limit, or you failed to handle a traffic accident promptly. Just the other day, a neighbor in my community had their license confiscated even after points were cleared—turns out they forgot to pay a speeding ticket. The key is to check the compulsory measures certificate issued by the traffic police, which states the conditions for release. It's best to visit the penalty window to get a checklist—retake any required tests, pay any fines, and complete all procedures before your license can be returned.
