How to Check for Illegal Parking Tickets?
2 Answers
If illegal parking is not dealt with in a timely manner, the record can be found online. According to the relevant regulations of the Ministry of Public Security on illegal parking, if a vehicle is caught by traffic police and issued a parking ticket, once the ticket is placed on the car, the owner will face penalties (i.e., fines and demerit points). The owner must go to the traffic police department within the time specified on the ticket to handle the matter, during which the traffic police have not yet entered the violation information into the network. Here is additional information: Illegal parking: Illegal parking is a legal term referring to the situation where a vehicle is parked in violation of Article 63 of the 'Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China.' This includes parking in unauthorized locations.
I usually check for parking violation tickets using mobile apps. For example, the app "Traffic Management 12123" that I frequently use. After downloading and registering an account, I just need to enter my license plate number and ID information, then click 'Query' to immediately see if there are any unprocessed ticket records, including the ticket number, time, and location. Sometimes, I also receive notifications via email or SMS. Payment is convenient too—just select Alipay or WeChat Pay directly in the app. If not handled promptly, the fine may increase with late fees, and prolonged delays could affect vehicle inspections or cause issues with vehicle paperwork. I recommend checking every few weeks to develop a habit that saves hassle. Nowadays, before driving out, I always confirm whether the parking spot is legal to avoid the embarrassment of getting a ticket.
