To handle traffic violations on behalf of the vehicle owner, you need to bring the original vehicle license, original driver's license, and original ID card to the local traffic police station or branch to print the violation penalty notice (penalty decision). The fine must be paid at the designated bank within 15 days. Violation handling process: Bring your ID card, vehicle license, and driver's license to the violation handling office; then take the penalty decision to the designated bank to pay the fine. Once the penalty decision is printed, the fine must be paid within 15 days. After 15 days, a 3% late fee will be charged daily, but the total late fee cannot exceed the total fine amount. Methods for paying traffic violation fines: Self-service machine transfer: Payers can use a local Industrial and Commercial Bank of China debit card or card (Peony Pass Card can pay within the overdraft limit) with sufficient balance to transfer and pay through the bank's self-service terminals or ATMs. Online banking: Payers who have activated ICBC online banking can make payments through the bank's online banking system.

To handle someone else's traffic violation, you need to prepare the following items: the original and a copy of the vehicle owner's ID card, and the agent must also bring their original ID card. Most importantly, don't forget the original vehicle registration certificate, and a copy should also be prepared. If the violation was issued on the spot by a traffic police officer, please bring the penalty decision notice as well. Remember to confirm the fine amount in advance, as most places now support QR code payments. However, it's important to remind everyone that some serious violations require the owner to handle them personally, such as speeding over 50%. It's advisable to check the details on the Traffic 12123 app before making a trip. Additionally, it's best to call and inquire about the specific regulations of the local traffic management department, as requirements may vary from place to place.

Helping friends handle traffic violations is something I often do, but I always dread wasting time in line due to missing documents. The essential trio: the vehicle owner's ID, the vehicle registration certificate, and your own ID. If your surnames differ, it's best to have the owner prepare a signed and thumbprinted authorization letter. Once, I forgot the registration certificate and was outright denied service. Look up the penalty decision number in advance to fill out forms smoothly on-site. The process is much quicker now, but weekends are crowded—better to go on a weekday morning. Note that violations exceeding 12 penalty points can't be handled by proxy, so double-check this. Carry a bank card just in case; while mobile payments work, some counters only accept cash or card payments.

There are three scenarios to consider: For handling regular electronic surveillance violations, simply bring the original ID cards of both parties and the vehicle registration certificate. To address traffic tickets issued by police officers on-site, the original penalty decision document must be presented. Violations related to vehicle annual inspections must be resolved before passing the inspection. It is advisable to check violation details in advance via the 12123 APP and take screenshots to save the violation records. When processing, go to the traffic violation handling window to avoid visiting the wrong location. Some cities have launched online delegation functions, allowing authorized persons to pay fines via facial recognition. However, penalties involving point deductions still require in-person processing, especially ensuring all violations are cleared before the driver's license point reset cycle.

A major pitfall to watch out for when handling traffic violations on behalf of others: If the vehicle owner has multiple cars, make sure to verify which vehicle's violation corresponds to the vehicle license. Once, I took the wrong blue vehicle license, and the counter directly refused to accept it. A handy tip for bringing copies – print the front and back of the ID card and the supplementary page of the vehicle license on the same sheet. The agent doesn't need the original driver's license, but the owner's driver's license must have a normal points status. If the fine ticket is not processed within 15 days, there will be late fees, so it's best not to delay. Don't easily trust scalpers who claim to help with point deductions – now everything is processed with facial recognition. Finally, a special reminder: serious violations like drunk driving or hit-and-run by the vehicle owner absolutely cannot be handled by an agent.

Personal experience: Bring the original ID card of the vehicle owner, the original vehicle registration certificate, and your own ID card. Nowadays, most service windows have self-service copiers, but they charge a high fee, so it's better to prepare copies in advance. There's a key point when handling demerit points for violations: the window will verify whether the agent is acting voluntarily and requires signing a commitment letter. Avoid using a card to pay fines, as some systems may fail. Remember to get a receipt after processing, and check the 12123 app after two hours to see if the violation has been cleared. If the violation involves surveillance footage, make sure the owner confirms the photos before processing to avoid being wrongly blamed. Material requirements vary by location, so calling 122 before going is the safest bet.
