How long does it take to review the filing of traffic violations for non-owned vehicles?
2 Answers
The review process for filing non-owned vehicles on the Traffic Management 12123 platform takes 7 to 15 working days. After applying for vehicle filing on Traffic Management 12123, manual review is required. Once approved, the traffic management department will notify the vehicle owner via SMS or through the APP. If the application is rejected, the reason for rejection will also be communicated via SMS or through the APP. Conditions for filing non-owned vehicles on Traffic Management 12123: Only vehicles registered under an individual's name can be filed, and the vehicle to be bound must be a small car or a small new energy vehicle. A single vehicle can be bound by a maximum of 3 non-owners (including 3) simultaneously. Through the "Traffic Management 12123" APP, only one non-owned vehicle can be filed for application. If a user needs to file multiple non-owned vehicles, they can apply for binding at the traffic management service window. A user can bind no more than 3 non-owned vehicles (including 3) at the same time, and the historical cumulative binding must not exceed 5 vehicles (including 5) from different owners.
I previously helped a friend handle his traffic violation filing, and the entire process took about 3 to 5 working days. After submitting the materials on the Traffic Management 12123 APP, they first verify whether your identity information matches the vehicle owner's authorization letter. Efficiency varies significantly across different regions. In big cities like Shanghai, it can be done the next day, while in smaller cities, it might take up to a week. A reminder: when uploading photos of the vehicle license, make sure all four corners are fully captured. Missing pages will result in rejection and re-submission, which could delay the process by more than a day or two. If there's no progress after 5 days, it's best to call 12123 to follow up.
