What to Do If Your License Plate is Cloned and Receives Traffic Violations?

Clearly explain the situation to the police. Submit prepared relevant evidence, such as video footage showing your vehicle at a certain location on the day of the violation or data recorded by the dashcam. After reporting to the police, immediately bring your ID card, vehicle registration certificate, and driver's license to the vehicle management office for record filing.

I just received a traffic violation notice due to license plate cloning, and I'm really anxious. Don't panic yet—first, check where your car was actually parked at that time. I used my phone to take photos of my vehicle with timestamps as proof that I was elsewhere. Step two: head straight to the traffic police station to report the incident, bringing your vehicle license and ID card to dispute the violation record. They’ll have you fill out a form explaining the situation and submit your alibi evidence. If there’s surveillance footage, try to provide it. After handling this, I’ve taken extra precautions: regularly checking violation records on the traffic management app and installing a dash cam to capture my license plate to prevent future issues. Remember, acting quickly minimizes the impact—don’t delay, or it could affect your vehicle’s annual inspection.
