How Long Does It Take to Remove a Driver's License from the Blacklist?

Typically, it takes about half a month for the blacklist status to be automatically lifted. You can then visit the local vehicle management office to complete the necessary procedures and restore your driver's license. Below are specific details about the driver's license blacklist: 1. Reasons for being blacklisted: According to regulations, if one motor vehicle has more than three driver's licenses handling its violations, the system will automatically blacklist them. If one license is used to handle violations for multiple vehicles, the system will automatically add it to the blacklist. 2. Removal method: To remove a driver's license from the blacklist, you must go to the original window where the electronic traffic violation was processed for a suspect review. The officer at the window will review the case based on the investigation results. Once a driver is placed on the key personnel list, they can only handle violations for their own motor vehicles in the future.
The duration of being removed from the driving license blacklist mainly depends on the reason you got listed. Last time, my buddy was blacklisted for drunk driving and had to wait a full six months before he could retake the test to unlock it. For minor offenses like accumulating 12 points due to speeding, attending a 7-day safety training course and passing the subject one test can get you reinstated immediately. However, for serious violations like drunk driving or hit-and-run, it's much more troublesome—you'll face a minimum five-year driving ban, and in severe cases, a lifetime driving prohibition. Another common scenario is being blacklisted for forgetting to renew or inspect your license on time. In such cases, you can get unblocked the same day by submitting the required documents. Safe driving is always the best policy—don't bring these troubles upon yourself.
