2 Answers
12123 vehicle registration transfer approval generally takes 3 working days, and the required time may vary in different regions. Drivers can check the progress of the transfer application online using the online vehicle transfer business serial number in the online processing progress section. Generally, within ten working days, they can proceed to the local vehicle management office to complete the subsequent transfer procedures. Method for transferring registration on the 12123 app: Open the 12123 app and verify your identity using your ID card or driver's license; on the homepage, click "More" to enter the business center, find "Vehicle Registration Transfer Application" and click to enter; follow the prompts to fill in the license plate type and license plate number for registration; after registration, the transfer application can be completed. Then, you can bring valid documents such as the vehicle registration certificate and the owner's ID card to the vehicle management office at the destination to complete the transfer or ownership change procedures. Notes for electronic vehicle registration transfer: The vehicle registration transfer is limited to the vehicle owner's personal change of registration (change of jurisdiction). For incoming vehicles, the following documents must be provided for review and archiving: the vehicle owner's identity proof, valid insurance policy, vehicle registration certificate, vehicle license, and license plate; before applying for transfer registration, the vehicle owner must resolve all traffic violations and accidents related to the vehicle; vehicles with mortgages or pledges cannot be processed; if the vehicle has exceeded its inspection validity period upon transfer, the traffic accident liability insurance certificate must be reviewed; for vehicles not under the six-year exemption policy, the vehicle safety technical inspection certificate must be reviewed; for vehicles co-owned by two or more people, a notarized proof of joint ownership must be submitted.
Last year, I completed my vehicle transfer through the Traffic Management 12123 App, and the whole process was much faster than I expected. The electronic transfer was completed in about 5 working days. You need to prepare your ID card, vehicle registration certificate, and electronic photos, upload them to the App, and the system will process them automatically. The vehicle management office at the transfer-out location will review and issue the files, and the receiving location will confirm the transfer. During holidays or due to efficiency differences between the two locations, it may take up to 7 days, so it's recommended to submit on weekdays to avoid delays. The App also allows real-time progress tracking, making it very convenient for ordinary car owners to manage. Although the time is short, don’t be careless when checking materials—missing one item might require starting over and waste several days.
