How many days can it take to check the information after running a red light?

After running a red light, the illegal photo message is usually received within about 3 to 7 days, and at the latest, within about 13 days. However, some cities now offer "instant electronic police capture alerts," where you can receive an SMS notification within 5-10 minutes after being captured. But the notification does not equate to a violation; it is merely a capture alert. Whether it is a violation will be determined within 3-7 days, and if it is indeed a violation, you will receive another SMS notification. For traffic violations captured by surveillance cameras, vehicle owners generally do not receive the violation SMS immediately. There is a time delay, and the duration may vary. This is because after the electronic camera captures the violation, the relevant violation information needs to be transmitted through a dedicated channel to the traffic police management center, where it is compiled and then forwarded to the relevant traffic police department staff for verification. Once confirmed as a violation, the system will automatically query the vehicle owner's mobile phone number based on the license plate information and then send the violation details via SMS to the owner, who will then receive the corresponding violation message. After receiving the violation SMS, the vehicle owner must go to the traffic police department where the violation occurred to handle the matter within one month before the vehicle's annual inspection. Generally, if a vehicle owner suspects a violation, they can use 15 days as a benchmark. If no violation SMS is received after 15 days, it is likely that no violation was recorded. Traffic Violation Query Methods: Traffic violation query refers to checking motor vehicle violations of traffic management through online or terminal methods. Vehicle violation queries can be done via traffic violation websites, phone calls, SMS, mobile apps, or offline terminals. Website Query: You can search for "vehicle violation query" and enter the vehicle information to check. Phone Query: To query violations, you can call the local 114 (area code + 114) or 12580 for traffic violation confirmation. Violations can only be processed at the traffic police department where the violation occurred or where the vehicle's license plate was issued. For on-the-spot violations, such as those directly caught by traffic police, they must be handled at the violation location. SMS Query: Open the SMS writing interface on your phone; enter "WZ [license plate number] [license plate color]" in the message content; enter "1062650001" as the recipient and click send. Mobile App Query: Open the Traffic Management 12123 app, select "violation query," and find any unprocessed violations to clear them. Offline Terminal Query: You can visit the local traffic management hall and use the self-service query machine to enter the license plate number and check recent violation records.
As a new driver who just got my license, I accidentally ran a red light last month and looked up some related information. Usually, traffic violation records can be checked on the traffic management app within 1 to 3 days. The data appeared on the 'Traffic Management 12123' app I used the very next day. If it doesn't show up, it might be due to data processing delays; just wait up to a week and check again. When querying, simply enter your license plate number and ID card number—it's very convenient. Safe driving is crucial; always stop completely at red lights to avoid unnecessary stress. Fines and demerit points are unavoidable, so it's best to pay them promptly via the app or website to prevent additional fees. Developing good habits, like paying attention to traffic light changes and avoiding distractions such as mobile phones, can help reduce trouble.
