Open the Traffic Management 12123 app, log in, and find the [More] option on the homepage. In the pop-up interface, locate the [Service Center] and click to enter. In the [Service Center] for motor vehicles, find the [Motor Vehicle Transfer Application] and select this option. The page will display the bound motor vehicles. Select the vehicle that needs to be transferred and click the [Query] option. Enter the destination city, check the box for proof of residence in the destination (local ID card or residence permit), and proceed to the next step. Read and agree to the business instructions that pop up. Enter the SMS verification code, click submit, and complete the motor vehicle transfer application.
Now it's really convenient to handle vehicle transfer and registration directly on the phone. I just went through the process recently. First, you need to find the vehicle transfer service in the Traffic Management 12123 APP, then upload your ID card, vehicle registration certificate, and photos of the car. Once the documents are approved, you can select a new license plate number - this is the most exciting part. However, it's crucial to settle all traffic violations beforehand, otherwise the application will be rejected. I recommend getting an emissions test at an inspection station first, as the vehicle must meet emission standards to be transferred to a new city. Finally, visit the local DMV at your scheduled time - they'll verify the VIN number and issue a new vehicle license on the spot. The whole process takes about two weeks, much simpler than running between multiple counters ten years ago.
From practical experience, there are three key steps in the online vehicle transfer process. First, submit the transfer application via the 12123 APP, remembering to take a 45-degree photo of the vehicle in advance. Once approved, pay the license and certificate fees as prompted—now conveniently done online. Then, the system will open the license plate selection pool; it's advisable to avoid peak hours for this step. At the DMV stage, pay attention to two critical points: bring the old license plate to the recycling counter, and ensure the vehicle shows no signs of modification. The entire process is smoother than expected, culminating in waiting for the delivery of the new license plate. Indeed, government services have become much more efficient nowadays.
