To handle the deduction of penalty points, you need to bring the driver's license, ID card, and the vehicle registration certificate of the violating vehicle. If it is a commercial vehicle, you also need to bring your professional qualification certificate. The process for handling traffic violations and other methods: Process for handling violations: Bring the driver's license, vehicle registration certificate, and an ID card matching the driver's license to the traffic police station; queue to get a number, then proceed to the window to handle the violation; after verifying the violation, the staff will provide the processing result and a payment slip; the driver can then pay the fine at the designated bank to complete the violation process. Other methods for handling violations: You can also log in to the traffic police information service website to handle violations. There is a link for online traffic violation inquiries in the middle of the page. After entering the license plate number and other relevant information, you can check the traffic violation records of the vehicle. You can then choose either door-to-door service or online payment to handle the violation.
I remember last year when I went to the DMV to clear points, it was a complete mess, and I almost left things behind. You must bring your driver's license booklet and the original ID card to prove it's your own operation. For the car, bring a copy or the original of the vehicle registration certificate, just in case. It's best to have the fine ticket ready too. Nowadays, many places allow QR code payments, but bringing a bank card is safer to avoid trouble if cash isn't enough. I suggest going in the morning when there are fewer people, so the queue moves faster, and you can also ask if you can handle other violations while you're there. Never let someone else do it for you, or the points won't be cleared, and you'll have to start over—my friend learned this the hard way. In short, having all the materials ready saves time and effort.
When going to the traffic management office to deduct points, I usually bring three things: driver's license, ID card, and vehicle registration certificate. You must go in person; having someone else handle it for you won't work. Also, check if there are any unpaid fines. If there are, bring the notice or remember the ticket number. Payment can be made by bank card or mobile payment. I've noticed it's best to set out early for the process, avoiding peak hours to prevent long waits that could delay things. If unsure what to bring, call the local traffic management office in advance, as small details may vary by city. For example, my hometown also requires the vehicle's annual inspection certificate, but big cities are simpler. After deducting points, your score decreases, making driving on the road a bit more reassuring.
When handling point deduction, I always pack the necessary materials: don't forget to put your ID card in the bag, the original driver's license, and the vehicle registration certificate. It's safest to be present in person during the process, and bring the penalty notice or record number for convenient payment. I'm in the habit of checking these things in advance to avoid making unnecessary trips. Nowadays, most payments can be made with a bank card or by scanning a QR code. After completing the process, it's advisable to ask the staff about your points status to ensure the issue is resolved and won't affect your driver's license for the next year.
