How long does it take to check points deducted from a driver's license?

Normally, it takes seven days. Below are the precautions regarding driver's license point deductions: 1. Precautions one: If the points deducted in a scoring cycle (12 months from the "initial license date" of the driver's license) are less than 12, just pay the fine. At the start of the next scoring cycle, the vehicle management computer system will reset all points from the previous cycle. 2. Precautions two: If the points deducted in a scoring cycle reach 12, you must go to the issuing vehicle management office or the vehicle management office where the violation occurred to study and pass the subject one exam. Only after passing can the full-point record be cleared, and the normal use of the driver's license be restored.
Last time I got points deducted for speeding, I checked it in about two days using the 12123 Traffic App, which was quite convenient. Sharing some experience: The time it takes to check point deductions generally depends on the type of violation and processing efficiency. For common violations like parking or running a red light, you can usually check within 1 to 3 working days, with the App updating faster. For more complex cases, it might take a week or longer. Data entry can sometimes be delayed, such as during holidays or system maintenance, making the App slower. Don’t wait too long to check—my experienced driver friend says to check points frequently to avoid reaching the 12-point limit and having to retake the test, which would be a hassle. Make it a habit to check the App weekly, and use a dashcam to help prevent point deductions—safe and worry-free.
