How long does it take to show a full score after the driver's license is cleared?

After the driver's license is cleared, a full score can be displayed within one cycle. The so-called one scoring cycle refers to one year, but it is not a calendar year. According to relevant laws and regulations, it is calculated from the date when the driver's license is first obtained. In China, the driver's license has a 12-month scoring cycle. The following is more information about driver's license points deduction: According to Article 68 of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses", if a motor vehicle driver accumulates 12 points within a scoring cycle, the traffic management department of the public security organ shall detain his motor vehicle driving license. After the motor vehicle driving license is detained, the motor vehicle driver shall, within 15 days, go to the traffic management department of the public security organ in the place where the motor vehicle driving license was issued or where the illegal act occurred to participate in a seven-day study of road traffic safety laws, regulations and related knowledge. After the motor vehicle driver participates in the study, the vehicle management office shall conduct a test on road traffic safety laws, regulations and related knowledge within 20 days.
I've been driving for seven or eight years and am quite familiar with the license point reset process. Generally, on the last day of your demerit point cycle, the system will automatically clear your deducted points and immediately display the full 12 points. Last month when my cycle ended, I checked the mobile app and saw my points restored, with the update completing in less than half an hour. If the online platform is slow, waiting one or two hours is normal. My advice is to drive carefully—avoid running red lights or speeding, as points are easily deducted but hard to regain. Remember your cycle end date and check your records a few days beforehand to avoid complications. Developing good driving habits keeps you safe and worry-free.
