How to Unlock Vehicle Status on 12123?
2 Answers
After logging into the Traffic Management 12123 platform, click on the [Driver's License] option on the left to view detailed information. Understand the specific reason for the driver's license being locked. According to relevant laws and regulations, transactions related to the driver's license, such as transferring registration, can only be processed one year after obtaining the license. Possible reasons include: unresolved traffic violations; unresolved drunk driving records; unresolved records of accumulating 12 penalty points at once; or the driver's license being in a state of cancellation, revocation, or suspension. If none of the above applies, it could be a case of identity theft involving your driver's license. In such cases, you need to visit the traffic management department in person to clarify and resolve the issue, and restore the normal status of your driver's license.
I previously encountered a 12123 lock issue with my car, which was due to an unaddressed speeding violation on the highway. The APP directly displayed a vehicle lock notification. I immediately logged into the 12123 Traffic Management APP, clicked into my vehicle status section, where it clearly listed the lock reason and solution—simply paying the fine online would unlock it. The payment process was straightforward, using WeChat or Alipay, and the lock was lifted the next day after I handled it. This incident reminded me to pay more attention to traffic rules and regularly check the APP records to avoid accumulating violations. Developing this habit has made driving more reassuring and allows me to promptly address any abnormal vehicle statuses.
