After a vehicle is scrapped and deregistered, the 12123 app will display that the vehicle has been scrapped. Here is some relevant information about the Traffic 12123 app: 1. Software Introduction: "Traffic Management 12123" is the official mobile client application of the Ministry of Public Security's Internet-based Comprehensive Traffic Safety Service Management Platform (hereinafter referred to as the Internet Platform), developed and technically supported by the Traffic Management Research Institute of the Ministry of Public Security. This software serves a wide range of users across the country, including vehicle owners and drivers. 2. Implementation Plan: In the second half of 2015, the Internet service platform "Traffic Management 12123" APP was piloted, and by the end of the year, it was launched on Apple and Android markets. The APP service functions were simultaneously activated in the first batch of 19 provinces that promoted the use of web and SMS services, with nationwide promotion completed in the first half of 2016.

I've handled this before. After the car is scrapped and deregistered, you can check it clearly on the 12123 app. Open the app's homepage and look at the vehicle status section—the spot that originally displayed the license plate number will directly change to 'Deregistered.' However, it doesn’t update immediately; you’ll need to wait for the DMV system to sync the data, usually taking two or three days. If you click into the details page, you can also see 'Deregistration Certificate Processed,' and the vehicle information will appear grayed out. At this point, don’t even try to pay fees or check for violations—the system outright blocks these functions. In my opinion, seeing this status is like an account being closed; the car is legally and systematically gone for good. Just remember to verify the deregistration date is correct. Once, when I helped a neighbor check, I found the date was later than the actual scrapping date—turned out the dealership delayed submitting the paperwork to the DMV.

My old car was scrapped and deregistered last year, and now logging into the 12123 platform is much smoother. In the vehicle section, the entire info panel of that scrapped car is watermarked with 'Deregistered,' and even the license plate number has a deregistration tag next to it. What’s convenient is that it automatically disappeared from the frequently used vehicles list, so no manual unbinding was needed. If you check the history, you can still see the last operation was 'Deregistration,' with the DMV’s certification number stamped below. Here’s a pro tip: after completing deregistration, make sure to get a receipt from the recycling plant and verify if the deregistration date matches what’s shown on 12123. A friend of mine faced a two-week system delay where the update hadn’t gone through, and it was only resolved after calling the DMV to push for it.

Scrapped vehicle deregistration on 12123 appears straightforward. Open the app, go to registered vehicles, and the status bar for scrapped vehicles directly displays 'Deregistered' in three red characters. Previously accessible driver's license information turns gray, and the traffic violation query function is locked. Important reminder: The system retains the vehicle's historical information, but new services cannot be processed. After completing the process, I received a push notification from 12123 stating the vehicle was successfully deregistered, along with a download link for the electronic deregistration certificate. It's advisable to clean up accounts associated with the vehicle and unbind the mobile number for added .

Personal experience shows that after a vehicle is scrapped, the changes on the 12123 platform are quite noticeable. In the vehicle list, a "Cancelled" label appears below the license plate of the deregistered vehicle. Clicking into it only displays basic information, with all other functions disabled. The key changes are in the service processing area—this vehicle cannot be used for selecting license plates, renewing , or even scheduling an inspection. Once, while helping a friend check, I noticed a detail: when there are multiple vehicles under the same account, deregistered ones are automatically sorted to the bottom. If you've just completed the deregistration process, there might be a system delay. In my case, I completed the procedure on Friday, and the status only updated by Monday night. If there's no change after five days, it's safer to bring the deregistration proof to the DMV for verification.

Last year when handling my father's car scrapping, the 12123 platform displayed it very intuitively. The most obvious change was the vehicle status turning into a prominent 'Cancelled' prompt, located right next to the license plate number. All service entries related to this vehicle disappeared, making it impossible to check historical violations. It's recommended to take a screenshot after completing the cancellation, as the vehicle information will gradually be removed from the frequently used pages. There's a minor pitfall in actual usage - after cancellation, this vehicle still counts in the personal vehicle count. It doesn't affect license plate lottery but looks unpleasant. Special attention is needed if doing second-hand car trading platform verification, as their systems synchronize with 12123 data. It's best to log in again one week later to refresh the data, as I've encountered situations where the cache wasn't updated promptly.
