Generally, after receiving an on-site parking ticket from the traffic police, the violation can be checked within about 3 to 7 days, and it will not exceed 13 working days at the latest. If no illegal parking record is found after about 13 days, you can inquire at the traffic police department. Self-service violation handling: Users can self-process non-on-site traffic violation records with a single fine of 200 or less and cumulative points less than 12 for themselves and up to 3 bound non-personally owned vehicles; self-pay fines for traffic violations issued by officers on-site; self-process traffic violation records for personally owned vehicles and up to 3 bound non-personally owned vehicles; and handle non-on-site traffic violation records nationwide for personally owned vehicles and bound non-personally owned vehicles.
Last time I got a traffic violation in Xi'an, I used the 12123 Traffic Management App to check, and the result came out in just two or three days. The system is quite fast now—generally, violations caught by electronic cameras are processed in the backend, and once the data is uploaded, you can check it. I recommend waiting about three to five days after a violation to check, don’t be too impatient, as it might be slower during peak periods. For manually issued tickets, there might be an immediate record. Make it a habit to check the app weekly for any violations, so you can handle them promptly and avoid doubled fines. Safe driving comes first—fewer violations mean less hassle. The app also allows direct payment, which is very convenient and saves time compared to queuing at the traffic police station. Just check early and don’t delay too long.
