How long does it take for traffic violations to appear on 12123?
2 Answers
Generally, it takes 3 to 7 days for traffic violations to be recorded, and the latest should not exceed 13 working days. Phone inquiry: Call the local number 114 on your mobile phone, provide the license plate number to the operator, and they will check for any traffic violations based on the provided vehicle information and inform you if there are any violations. Traffic police station inquiry: Visit the office hall of the traffic police detachment in various districts and counties, and use the touch query terminal to check. Required documents include: driver's license, vehicle license, and ID card. Website inquiry: Log in to the external service website of the Public Security Traffic Management Bureau of each city, find the vehicle violation inquiry section, enter the license plate number and vehicle engine number, and click to inquire.
Last time my car got caught by roadside surveillance, and it took several days before the record showed up on the 12123 app. Generally, there's a 1-15 day delay from the violation to appearing on the platform, depending on how fast your local traffic authorities process it. For example, data from electronic monitoring needs review before uploading – big cities might be quicker at 3-5 days, while smaller cities or holidays could take around 10 days. In my case, the violation happened on a Friday, and system maintenance over the weekend slowed things down until Monday. If you're eager to know the result, you can check the app twice daily (morning/evening), but don't stress too much – many drivers say waiting a few days doesn't affect their driving points. I recommend enabling 12123 notification alerts for automatic push messages, so you won't need to constantly refresh your phone. Note that on-the-spot penalties (like police tickets) usually appear faster, often the same day, though network delays are common. Always allow buffer time. Checking is simple: just open the app and enter your license plate and engine number. Avoid paid violation-checking ads to prevent scams.
