What is the method to look up a vehicle by its license plate number?

According to the license plate number, the method to look up a vehicle is: 1. Go online and click to enter the online vehicle management office, then click to enter the motor vehicle information inquiry; 2. Input the type and number of the motor vehicle license plate you need to inquire, and click search; 3. Determine the vehicle you need to inquire through relevant information such as body color, vehicle brand, driver, and file number. The steps to install the license plate are: 1. You need to screw all the fixing screw components onto the fixing points where the front and rear of the vehicle can see the fixed license plate; 2. After the license plate is in the right position, tighten all the screws; 3. Align the cap with the cushion block and press it down, then press the cap into place to fix it.

I've encountered this situation several times in real life when friends asked about it, so I must remind everyone that according to our country's laws, ordinary people cannot casually look up vehicle owner information through license plates, as this involves personal privacy protection. Only traffic police or law enforcement officers have the authority to query such information during official duties. There was a neighbor in our community who suspected someone of parking improperly—couldn't they just ask the property management to check the surveillance footage? Actually, you can use the 'One-Click Vehicle Move' feature in the Traffic Management 12123 app: after entering the license plate number, the system will automatically contact the owner to move the vehicle, solving the problem without breaking the law. In case of a hit-and-run, the correct approach is to immediately report to the police and provide dashcam footage, letting the officers handle it.

I need to clarify this issue. Many people keep thinking about looking up car owner information by license plate number, but it's really not possible! The traffic management department's system contains ID card and contact information, but these are protected by privacy laws. Nowadays, some illegal software claims to be able to look up this information, but they're all scams and illegal. I recommend using official channels. For example, when binding your own vehicle on the Traffic Management 12123 app to check for violations, you can see some information, but only for your own vehicle. If you really need to check someone else's license plate, it's only possible in cases like after an accident when reporting to the police. Last time my car was scratched, the traffic police found the other party's contact information through the license plate in just five minutes. Professional matters should be left to professionals - that's the safer approach.

As a car owner, I was also curious about this, but after researching, I found there's more to it. Technically, only the vehicle registration authority's system can link to owner information, and ordinary apps simply can't access it. In practice, the 12123 app's car relocation feature is sufficient—entering the license plate automatically notifies the owner without revealing personal details. The key is not to trust pop-up web services claiming to provide such queries, as they may steal personal information and could be illegal. For genuine disputes, following the official police reporting process is the safest and most reliable approach.
