What are the penalties for not having a Beijing Entry Permit?

[BrooklynAnn]

If caught entering Beijing without a Beijing Entry Permit, drivers will face a fine and 3 penalty points on their license. The same vehicle will not be penalized again within four hours. However, if the vehicle remains within the 6th Ring Road after four hours, the same penalties will apply again, and this cycle continues. According to regulations, applying for a Beijing Entry Permit requires a driver's license, vehicle registration certificate, ID card, compulsory traffic insurance policy, and a valid vehicle inspection sticker. In practice, only the driver's license, vehicle registration certificate, and ID card are needed. The driver's license and ID card must belong to the same person (who may not be the vehicle owner), and the ID card holder must apply in person. The Beijing Entry Permit is a temporary document required for non-local vehicles entering within Beijing's 5th Ring Road, with validity periods of either 7 days (temporary) or 6 months (long-term).
