How Long Does It Take to Replace a Driver's License on Traffic Management 12123?
2 Answers
Generally, the replacement of a driver's license through Traffic Management 12123 takes within one week. "Traffic Management 12123" is the official mobile client application of the Ministry of Public Security's Internet-based comprehensive traffic safety service management platform (hereinafter referred to as the Internet platform), developed and technically supported by the Traffic Management Science Research Institute of the Ministry of Public Security. This software serves a wide range of users nationwide, including vehicle owners and drivers. Traffic management departments, leveraging the "Traffic Management 12123" mobile APP and the Internet-based comprehensive traffic safety service management platform, have introduced a new initiative allowing online binding of non-personally owned vehicles for self-service handling of traffic violations, in addition to the existing window and self-service processing options. This platform significantly reduces waiting times at traffic violation processing windows and associated travel costs.
Last time I renewed my driver's license on the 12123 traffic management app, it took a total of five days from submitting the application to receiving the new license. I was a bit nervous at first, worried that the online process might not go smoothly, but it turned out to be quite simple. After uploading photos and information on the app, I received a text message the next day saying the review was approved, and then the license production and mailing took three days. This was much more convenient than going to the vehicle management office and queuing up like before. I recommend preparing photos of both sides of your ID card and a clear headshot before renewing to avoid delays from submitting additional materials. The process usually takes 3 to 7 business days, and it might take a bit longer during peak periods. Remember to renew your license on time to avoid fines for expiration.
