Where is my motor vehicle QR code?
2 Answers
Your motor vehicle QR code is located on the 12123 Traffic Management APP. You need to register on the 12123 Traffic Management APP and select the option to register a non-personal motor vehicle in order to scan the QR code of the vehicle already registered by the owner. The 12123 Traffic Management APP is the official client of the Internet Traffic Safety Comprehensive Service Management Platform, supported by the Traffic Management Research Institute of the Ministry of Public Security. It provides comprehensive traffic safety services for vehicle owners and drivers, including: personal user registration on the Internet service platform, appointment, acceptance, and processing of services such as motor vehicle/driver's license/violation handling, traffic safety information inquiries, service notifications and reminders, service guidance, and road traffic services. Steps to generate the QR code: Click on [Motor Vehicle] in the upper left corner of the 12123 Traffic Management APP homepage - View all motor vehicles - Select the registered motor vehicle - Then click on the motor vehicle QR code - A QR code will be generated - Proceed to scan it. Note: After the applicant scans the QR code of the vehicle to be registered, they must also take and upload a photo of themselves holding their ID card or driver's license. The traffic management department staff will promptly review the submitted application information. If the application is rejected due to submission of false information, the applicant will be blacklisted and no longer allowed to apply for binding non-personal motor vehicle services through the Internet service platform.
Regarding the location of the motor vehicle QR code, I've searched for it several times myself. In most cases, it's affixed to the driver's side corner of the front windshield, especially on the insurance sticker where there's a small square that can be scanned. This is designed for traffic police to quickly verify insurance and annual inspection information during checks, avoiding unnecessary hassle. If the sticker is worn or missing, it's not a problem as the electronic policy usually contains a QR code as well. You can search for compulsory traffic insurance on WeChat or log in to your insurance company's website to download it. Personally, I often use the Traffic Management 12123 App, which can generate a vehicle-specific QR code after registration, which is quite convenient. Regularly check your parking spot to avoid being caught off guard when you need it. I recommend starting by checking the windshield first, and if you really can't find it, then look for the electronic version.
