Currently, in addition to on-site application for the Beijing Entry Permit, it can also be processed through the Beijing Traffic Police app. The specific steps are as follows: 1. After entering the app, register an account and bind your driver's license and vehicle. Then, on the homepage, click "Apply for Beijing Entry Permit for Freight Vehicles and Small Passenger Cars." 2. After selection, the system will pop up a prompt box, reminding that the Beijing Traffic Police app is the only official channel for online application of the Beijing Entry Permit, and warns against scams. Click confirm to proceed. 3. You can then view your vehicle and Beijing Entry Permit information. The permit can only be reapplied on the last day of its validity. Click "Apply" to enter the application interface. 4. Before processing, you need to select your vehicle type. 5. The system will then display the regulations for using the Beijing Entry Permit, which must be displayed for 20 seconds before you can click "Confirm" to proceed to the next step. 6. After entering the online application for the Beijing Entry Permit, you need to verify the environmental protection level. This information will be pre-filled, so no additional input is required. 7. After environmental verification, you need to fill in the application information. Vehicle information will be automatically populated from the registration details. You need to upload a photo of the front of the vehicle's registration certificate and a front photo of the vehicle. 8. Then, fill in the driver's information and driver's license number, and upload a photo of the front of the driver's license and a photo of the vehicle owner holding their ID card. 9. Next, provide the vehicle's entry information, including the entry date, duration, and entry checkpoint. If there are accompanying passengers, their information can be added. 10. After filling in all the details, submit the application. The system will then confirm the submission, and you can proceed if everything is correct. 11. After confirmation, the system will display a submission success page. 12. On the homepage of the Beijing Entry Permit application, you can check the review status, which will show as "Under Review." 13. After some time, the review will be approved, completing the Beijing Entry Permit application process.
I just came to Beijing from out of town for business, and getting the Beijing Entry Permit was quite convenient. It's mainly done through the 'Beijing Traffic Police' app. I downloaded the app first and registered an account with my phone number. After registration, I had to enter the license plate number, owner's name, and ID number—make sure the information is accurate. Then, I uploaded photos of the vehicle registration certificate and ID card—don’t cut corners here; the images need to be clear and visible, or the review won’t pass. After submission, it took about ten minutes for the system to process and display the result. The electronic permit is valid for 7 days, and you can apply 24 hours in advance to avoid peak times and save time. Another thing to note: the vehicle’s emissions must meet the Beijing VI standard. Older vehicles should check their exhaust emissions first, or all the effort will be wasted. I always carry a power bank to display the electronic permit on the road anytime.
