Is an Appointment Required to Handle Traffic Violations in Chengdu?

Chengdu does not require an appointment to handle traffic violations. Simply bring your motor vehicle driver's license and vehicle registration certificate to the traffic police station. It is important to promptly address vehicle violations. Below is a detailed introduction regarding vehicle violations: Overview: Vehicle violations refer to acts where motor vehicles contravene the Road Traffic Safety Law and traffic management regulations. Penalties for vehicle violations include warnings, fines (vehicle impoundment), temporary suspension of driver's license, revocation of driver's license, cancellation of driver's license, administrative detention, and criminal liability for acts constituting crimes. Legal Basis: According to the 'Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China,' public security traffic management departments and their traffic police officers must promptly correct road traffic safety violations. Penalties for road traffic safety violations should be imposed based on facts and relevant provisions of this law.

Last week, I just handled a traffic violation ticket in Chengdu, and it indeed required an advance appointment to avoid long queues and wasted time. I made the reservation through the official Sichuan Traffic Police app, which was very straightforward. First, install the app on your phone, register, and log in using your ID card and driver's license information. Then, select the service item and time slot—I chose Wednesday afternoon. At the scene, I brought all the required documents, and the system directly retrieved the records to confirm the ticket. The payment was processed within minutes. Without an appointment, peak hours could mean waiting for one or two hours. I recommend downloading the app and checking for available slots a day in advance to avoid crowds. Always remember to follow traffic rules—fewer violations mean less hassle, saving you time and keeping your work and life on track.

As a local commuter in Chengdu, I often drive to and from work, and my experience with handling traffic violations is that an appointment is necessary. There are several channels for making an appointment: the Sichuan Traffic Police WeChat official account and the Tianfu Tong APP can both handle it. After binding your personal information, you can book an appointment at the processing center. I find this method very user-friendly, saving a lot of time, especially during lunch breaks on weekdays or less crowded periods. When actually handling the violation, bring your ID card and driver's license, and verify the information on-site before paying the fine. It would be even more convenient if tickets could be paid online or processed electronically. Overall, the process is efficient, and I recommend developing the habit of making appointments to avoid unnecessary trips to the site.

I recently handled a traffic violation for the first time in Chengdu and found that an appointment was mandatory. The method was to follow the Sichuan Traffic Police official account on my phone, bind my ID, then book a time and location. Upon arrival, I just needed to show the appointment QR code. The process was straightforward and only took half an hour. Remember to bring your ID and driver's license, otherwise you'll have to reschedule, which is quite troublesome.
