How to Unbind Someone Else's Binding to a Motor Vehicle?

Binding a driver's license to a vehicle can facilitate the handling of traffic violation penalties. If you wish to unbind the driver's license, you can follow the methods below to remove the binding. You can download the mobile app "Traffic Management 12123" from the app store. Open "Traffic Management 12123" and log in directly if you have previously registered; if not, you will need to register. After opening, you will see the previously bound motor vehicle and driver's license. Click on "Driver's License" to display the specific details of the license. Click the icon in the upper right corner to display the "Unbind Driver's License" option, then click to remove the binding. If the binding was done on a specific platform, report it to that platform and ask customer service to help unbind the license plate. Then, rebind your license plate to your own account to prevent it from being bound by someone else again. If there is no customer service available, you can file a complaint or report the platform to the relevant authorities. There are two methods to bind a vehicle: Self-service binding process: Download the "Traffic Management 12123" mobile app, register and bind it with real-name authentication on your phone, and follow the prompts step by step. Vehicle owners or drivers can directly apply for binding at the nearest vehicle management internet service window. Both the vehicle owner and the driver must bring their original ID card and the original vehicle registration certificate of the vehicle to be bound. The window staff will strictly follow the procedures to complete the binding. A successful binding confirmation message from "Traffic Police" will be received within one working day after the review is completed.
Last year, I helped a friend unbind a used car, visiting the DMV and trying the APP. The safest way is for both parties to bring their ID cards and the vehicle registration certificate to the DMV to fill out an unbinding application form. The clerk at the counter will check the vehicle binding records. If the original owner is unreachable, it becomes troublesome—you’ll need to file a police report first to get a certificate, then apply for a forced unbinding with the vehicle documents alone. Now, you can also do it through the 12123 APP, but it requires the other party to confirm in real-time with facial recognition. However, I once encountered a case where the wrong license plate number was bound, and customer service said you can directly upload vehicle photos and the driving license on the platform’s appeal page to unbind. Oh, and if the car has already been transferred, remember to have the new owner bring the documents to the counter to update the system.
