How to Pay the Fine for Illegal Parking Ticket?
3 Answers
Traffic police can point out the illegal act and issue a verbal warning, requiring the driver to leave immediately. Bring your driver's license, vehicle license, cash or bank card to the local administrative hall (or traffic police station) to handle the fine payment on-site. On the official website, follow the interface prompts to enter the license plate number, the last six or four digits of the engine number, ID card, and other relevant information to pay the fine on behalf of the offender.
Don’t panic when you receive a ticket. First, check if there’s a QR code in the upper right corner. Many cities now allow online processing by scanning the code. Simply scan it with WeChat or Alipay, enter your license plate number and ID number as prompted, and pay directly. If there’s no QR code, download the Traffic Management 12123 app, register, and bind your vehicle information. Then, find the violation in the ‘Violation Handling’ section, confirm it, and pay the fine. Payment methods include UnionPay cards or third-party payments. Key point: Payment must be completed within 15 days, or a 3% late fee will be charged daily. For offline processing, you’ll need to visit the traffic police station to get a penalty slip and then queue at the bank. Personally, I recommend handling it via your phone for convenience and efficiency.
I've dealt with illegal parking fines three or four times, and I dread queuing at service windows the most. Here's a recommended three-step online process: Open Alipay and search for 'City Services', then select 'Traffic Violation Payment'; or use WeChat Mini Programs to search for the local traffic police official account, register, and check violation records. The most efficient method is still the 'Traffic Management 12123' APP – after binding your vehicle, you can check both points and violations. Be careful to enter the correct ticket number and verify the license plate before payment. For offline processing, bring the original vehicle license and driver's license to the traffic police station to issue a penalty decision, then go to the designated bank to pay. Remember to keep the receipt, and for APP payments, save screenshots for at least six months.
