What documents are needed for self-service traffic violation processing?
2 Answers
For self-service traffic violation processing, you need to bring the original and duplicate copies of the vehicle registration certificate of the vehicle involved in the traffic violation, the original ID card of the driver, the original and duplicate copies of the driver's license, the "Traffic Management Fine Receipt," and the "Traffic Violation Penalty Decision Notice." General procedure for traffic violation penalties: Investigation and evidence collection, notification of the penalty matter, reasons, basis, and related rights, hearing statements, defenses, or holding hearings, and making a penalty decision. Traffic police can issue an on-the-spot penalty decision if they impose a fine on an individual at the scene. For non-scene violations, traffic police can use simplified procedures to make a penalty decision based on traffic monitoring records, imposing fines on the owner, manager, or driver of the violating vehicle. Precautions for self-service traffic violation processing: Make sure to bring your bank card with sufficient funds. When using self-service devices to handle vehicle violations, note that although personal attendance is not required, the handler's ID card and driver's license must be brought, and they must belong to the same person. During the process, be aware that self-service devices may encounter system issues, such as successful payment but failed receipt printing, in which case you should promptly seek assistance from staff. Pay attention to the timing when using self-service devices for traffic violation processing, as some locations have explicitly stated that only specified vehicles can be bound to handle violations.
Last time I went to handle traffic violations at the self-service machine, I brought the three most important things: driver's license, vehicle license, and ID card. Remember they must be your own, otherwise the machine won't recognize them. Also keep your bank card ready for paying fines. I recommend checking violation records in advance on the 12123 traffic management app to avoid a wasted trip. If the vehicle belongs to a company, you'll need to bring a copy of the business license and a letter of authorization - this is particularly easy to forget. The operation is actually quite simple - just swipe your ID card and follow the on-screen instructions. The whole process takes less than ten minutes. But be careful not to dress too casually, as staff at some locations monitor the cameras closely.
