How Long Does It Take to Get the Results of a Driver's Safe Driving Record?

There is a process from the occurrence of a traffic violation to its entry into the online system for a motor vehicle's safe driving record or violation record. This involves data collection, organization, review, entry, and transmission, which takes a certain amount of time. However, the timeframe is not uniform nationwide and depends on the update speed of the local traffic management department. Generally, it takes within a week or longer. The "Procedures for Handling Road Traffic Violations" are introduced as follows: 1. Article 19: Within five days after traffic monitoring equipment collects violation records, the traffic management department of the public security organ at the place where the violation occurred shall review the recorded content. After verification, the information shall be entered into the road traffic violation information management system as evidence for penalizing the violation. 2. Article 20: On the day the violation information recorded by traffic monitoring equipment is entered into the road traffic violation information management system, the traffic management departments of the public security organs at the place where the violation occurred and the place where the motor vehicle is registered shall make the information available to the public for inquiry. Within five days after the violation information is entered into the system, the traffic management department at the place where the violation occurred shall notify the violator or the owner/manager of the motor vehicle of the time, location, and facts of the violation via mobile internet applications, text messages, or mail, based on the contact information in the motor vehicle's registration records, and inform them to address the matter within 30 days.
Last time my company asked for my safe driving record, I tried using the Traffic Management 12123 APP. After filling in my ID card and driver's license information and clicking submit, I browsed through my social media for a while. Surprisingly, the electronic version was sent to my email in less than 5 minutes, which was so fast it caught me off guard. If you choose to have the paper version mailed, it usually takes about two or three days. Nowadays, most companies accept the electronic version. This record mainly checks whether you've had any major accidents or lost all 12 points within the last three years. I also used it to prove I'm a reliable driver when I changed jobs last time. Actually, the online process is quite simple, but you must ensure the information is filled in correctly and the photos are taken clearly, otherwise it might cause delays.
