How long does it take for the driver's license to show full points after the points are cleared?

The points clearing time for the driver's license is the issuance date on the license. After the points are cleared, you need to wait until the next scoring cycle begins to restore the full points. If a driver's license accumulates 12 points within one cycle, the driver must go to the vehicle management office at the license issuance location or the location where the violation occurred to participate in learning and take the subject one exam. Drivers who accumulate 12 points twice consecutively within one scoring cycle need to take the subject three exam after increasing the driving license. Only after passing the exam can the points be cleared; otherwise, the driver's license cannot be used normally. If there are point deductions, you can check the specific violations in the Traffic Management 12123 software. Click on the violation record to see details such as the location, time, and photos of the unprocessed violations. If the violation is confirmed, you need to handle the record.
Having driven for over a decade, I have some understanding of the system process. Once the driver's license demerit point cycle ends, the background automatically processes the point clearance. The system typically refreshes on the day the cycle ends or by the early hours of the next day. At this point, when you open the Traffic Management 12123 App or official website, the points immediately display the full 12 points, without needing to wait too long. A common scenario is that system updates occur overnight, and changes can be seen within a few hours after point clearance. It's advisable to note the cycle date in advance and check right after midnight. If there's occasional delay, it might be due to server congestion, but waiting patiently or logging in again usually resolves it. Overall, the process is efficient, but regularly checking point changes can prevent minor surprises.
