Is it necessary to print out the Beijing Entry Permit?

[Carvalho]

The Beijing Entry Permit needs to be printed out. The permit can be applied for through the Beijing Traffic Police APP, but it is an electronic Beijing Entry Permit. According to the notice regulations, and to facilitate identification by traffic police, it is required to download and print out the permit after application, and place it on the lower left side of the vehicle's front windshield. It is important to note that each vehicle can only apply for the Beijing Entry Permit a maximum of 12 times per year, with each permit valid for up to 7 days. Before the expiration of the validity period, the vehicle should exit the designated area as soon as possible. If the Beijing Entry Permit is not obtained or has expired, and the vehicle is parked within the roads inside the Sixth Ring Road (excluding) and the entire area of Tongzhou District, the number of days the vehicle can apply for the permit in the current year will be correspondingly deducted based on the number of days parked. If the vehicle is driven within the aforementioned areas without a valid Beijing Entry Permit, it will be considered as driving in violation of prohibition sign instructions and will be subject to corresponding penalty points and fines.
