What is the process of deducting points using someone else's driver's license?

The process of deducting points using someone else's driver's license is as follows: 1. To use someone else's driver's license for point deduction, the license holder must personally bring their driver's license, ID card, and the vehicle registration certificate of the borrower to the traffic violation office for processing; 2. Submit your vehicle registration certificate along with the borrowed driver's license and ID card to the staff, who will retrieve your violation records for confirmation; 3. Once the violation is confirmed to be yours, the staff will print out the penalty decision notice, which you then take to the designated bank to pay the fine. After payment, the violation record will be cleared; 4. The fine must be paid within 15 days of receiving the penalty decision notice. After 15 days, a late fee of 3% per day will be charged, with the total late fee not exceeding the original fine amount.
I've been driving for over a decade and often help friends with such matters. The process generally involves three steps: First, confirm the traffic violation details, such as the time, location, and points deducted; then, the person borrowing the license should bring their original driver's license and the vehicle owner's registration certificate to the traffic police station; the window will verify identity information to process point deduction and payment. However, with the upgraded facial recognition system now in place, the actual offender must verify their identity by scanning their face. Last year, when I tried to take points for an old classmate, the machine detected it, and I was almost fined 5,000 yuan. In fact, taking points for others carries huge risks—if caught, both parties face penalties, ranging from fines to detention, and it can also affect credit records. I strongly advise against taking such risks. If you're genuinely short on points, you can participate in the 'Study to Reduce Points' program on the Traffic Management 12123 app, which is both safe and legal.
