Last time before driving into Beijing, I spent quite some time figuring out the Beijing Entry Permit. There are mainly two hassle-free ways to handle it. Nowadays, most people use the Beijing Traffic Police App on their phones, filling out the form and uploading required documents one or two days in advance. You’ll need clear photos of the front of your car and the vehicle license. For elderly people who aren’t comfortable with smartphones, they can also go directly to the Beijing entry checkpoint to apply on-site—just remember to bring the original ID card and driver’s license. The electronic Beijing Entry Permit is valid for seven days, with a maximum of twelve applications per year. Make sure not to exceed the limit. The key is to check the traffic restriction days based on your license plate’s last digit—my friend got fined last time for not paying attention. Also, confirm that your car meets the China 6 emission standard, as older vehicles might be directly denied the permit.
