How to Bind a Driver's License to Someone Else's Vehicle?

[DeHenry]

First, download and install the Traffic Management 12123 app, then register and bind your driver's license after installation. The vehicle interface is where you bind vehicles, divided into two categories: your own vehicle and someone else's vehicle. Select 'Someone Else's Vehicle'. After selecting someone else's vehicle, you need to fill in some basic information about the vehicle. Fill in the details according to the actual situation and then click 'Apply to Bind'.

A few days ago, I helped my cousin with this process. Binding a driver's license and someone else's car should actually be considered separately. You can't bind your driver's license to someone else's car, but you can register the vehicle in the 'Traffic Management 12123' app. Specifically, open 'Traffic Management 12123', click 'Motor Vehicle' → 'Register Non-Owner Vehicle', and choose 'Scan QR Code for Registration' or 'SMS Verification'. The vehicle owner must be present to operate, scan their QR code to complete facial verification. After binding, you can help the owner handle violations under 6 points, but the points will still be deducted from the license holder's record. Remember, you can only register up to 3 non-owner vehicles after binding, and the owner can remove the binding at any time, which is quite convenient.

I've accompanied a friend through this process before. The key is to have the vehicle owner's cooperation. The most common method is to operate via the Traffic Management 12123 App: after the owner logs in and generates a vehicle QR code, you can scan it with your own app for authentication. There are new regulations now - non-owners handling violations need to complete pre-registration, as walk-in services at counters are no longer accepted. After registration, you can check violations and pay fines, but note that serious violations accumulating over 12 penalty points must still be handled by the owner personally. It's advisable to have the owner send you a photo of the vehicle registration certificate in advance, as you'll need to fill in the last six digits of the engine number during registration. Actually, binding is mainly for the convenience of handling simple procedures on behalf of others - legally, the vehicle still belongs to the original owner.

Just helped my dad bind his car, sharing some experience. It actually takes only five minutes to operate in the 12123 APP: let the car owner log in to the APP, go to 'Motor Vehicle Services', select 'Register Non-Owner Motor Vehicle', and choose SMS registration which will ask you to fill in the phone number to receive a verification code. It's better to choose QR code registration for faster processing—after generating the QR code, you can scan it with your own phone. After successful binding, traffic violation notifications will be sent to you simultaneously, making it much easier to pay fines on behalf of the owner. But pay special attention: substituting penalty points after binding the car is illegal! Last year's new regulations clearly stated that substituting penalty points for others can result in a maximum fine of 5,000 yuan. If a friend borrows the car, it's more recommended to let the car owner use the 'Apply for Authorization' function in the 'Motor Vehicle Services' section of the APP to issue you a temporary electronic authorization letter.
