3 Answers
Three driver's licenses bound to one vehicle will be automatically unbound after one year. Here is some extended information: 1. Relevant regulations: According to the regulations, a single vehicle can be bound to a maximum of 3 driver's licenses for handling traffic violation records, and one driver's license can be used to clear points for up to 3 motor vehicles. Once this limit is exceeded, the driver's license will be locked by the traffic management department of the public security authority and included in a blacklist suspected of substituting for penalty point handling. If the limit of 1 vehicle and 3 driver's licenses is exceeded, other locked drivers need to bring their driver's licenses to the vehicle management office for inspection. If there is no evidence of substituting for point handling, the lock will be lifted. However, if substituting for point handling is detected, a fine of up to 500 yuan and 5-10 days of detention will be imposed. 2. Required materials: For the vehicle owner: original ID card, original driver's license, and original vehicle registration certificate; For non-vehicle owners: original ID card and original driver's license.
Last time I bound three licenses to my car and was quite curious about when they would automatically unbind. It turns out the system sets a one-year validity period. Specifically, it starts counting from the day of binding, and exactly 365 days later, it will automatically unbind without needing to visit the DMV or anything. This is designed to simplify management, allowing drivers to rotate points deduction, but don’t unbind early to avoid complications. I once encountered a situation where I bound a friend’s license after a violation, and a year later, checking the records showed it was unbound, so I could bind a new one. I recommend noting the date when binding and setting a reminder on your phone to avoid forgetting. If you need to unbind early, you’ll have to go through the window procedures, which is more troublesome. Overall, the automatic unbinding is great—it saves time.
Having driven for over a decade, license binding is a common practice, and it automatically unbinds after exactly one year. For example, if you bound it last May, the system will automatically clear it this May. This is stipulated by traffic regulations—the demerit point cycle resets after twelve months, which has saved me a lot of hassle during long-distance trips. New drivers often rush to manually unbind, but it's really unnecessary as the system handles it. During the binding period, avoid making changes to prevent affecting point deductions. After unbinding, you can bind a new license—safe driving is what matters most. Keep track of your binding dates, and checking the status via an app is quite convenient.
