The methods to apply for a Beijing Entry Permit are: 1. Offline application: Any Beijing entry checkpoint or permit office in Beijing; 2. Online application: Download the Beijing Traffic Police APP, open it and click on the Beijing Entry Permit application, fill in the application information, upload vehicle information and photos. Select the entry time and route location based on actual circumstances. After approval, you will see an electronic version of the Beijing Entry Permit image, which needs to be printed and placed on the lower left side of the vehicle's front windshield. Important notes: 1. Try to apply in advance; same-day application for same-day use is not allowed; 2. The Beijing Entry Permit is valid for 2 to 7 days; 3. Each account can apply for permits for at least three vehicles; 4. A driver can only hold one valid Beijing Entry Permit at a time.
I remember feeling a bit nervous when applying for the Beijing Entry Permit for the first time, but later I got the hang of it. Now it's quite simple—just use the Beijing Traffic Police APP. First, download and register an account, then bind your vehicle information by entering the license plate number and engine number. Next, take a clear photo of the vehicle registration certificate and upload it. After submission, the approval usually takes about half an hour, and you’ll receive an electronic pass to download or screenshot—keep it handy on your phone for inspections. It’s best to apply one day in advance to avoid last-minute stress. If the APP doesn’t work, you can visit a highway service station to apply in person—just bring the original and a copy of the vehicle registration certificate and queue up. The permit is valid for 7 days, so don’t exceed the limit or risk a 200-yuan fine. The Beijing traffic restriction policy aims to reduce congestion and pollution—this method is a big improvement and saves me a lot of time, allowing me to drive with peace of mind.
