Where is the QR code located on a motor vehicle?

[MacSara]

The QR code for motor vehicles can be viewed in the mobile app "Traffic Management 12123" and is usually found on the vehicle's accompanying documentation, such as the configuration sheet, which includes specific vehicle details and features a QR code. First, you can use your smartphone to view it in the "Traffic Management 12123" app (V2.8.1B274). The vehicle QR code contains information such as the issuing authority, a unique serial number, license plate number, as well as technical parameters of the vehicle and owner details. Open the "Traffic Management 12123" app on your phone, click on "Registered Vehicles" on the homepage, then navigate to the "Vehicle QR Code" section. Second, the standard motor vehicle QR code is typically located on the accompanying documents, such as the configuration sheet, which lists the vehicle's specific configurations and includes a QR code displaying detailed information about your vehicle. The specific applications of QR codes in vehicle management involve the administration of vehicle information, safety, inspections, approvals, and other related aspects. As a means of transportation, vehicles and their drivers are constantly in dynamic motion across time and space. The functions of the vehicle QR code include: Converting and storing vehicle-related information within the QR code; Automatically recording the vehicle's annual inspection documents via the QR code; Enabling traffic police to record vehicle violation penalties by scanning the QR code; Allowing vehicle owners to check annual inspection statuses via the QR code; Establishing a vehicle monitoring network through the QR code to ensure effective, real-time, and automated vehicle management. As a new automatic identification and information carrier technology, QR codes have been widely applied in fields such as national defense, customs, taxation, public safety, and transportation for automatic information storage, transmission, and anti-counterfeiting purposes.

I think many drivers don't pay attention to the QR code location when they first buy a car. Like when I got my new car last year, it's usually stuck on the lower left or right corner of the windshield, very conspicuous and easy to find. Especially for temporary QR codes used for vehicle registration or insurance activation - if it gets hard to read, you need to quickly wipe off the dust to prevent scanning failures. I've also seen similar placements at repair shops. During new car delivery, salespeople may remind you not to peel it off because the DMV transfer or follow-up services require scanning it. For shared cars like shared bikes, the QR code is even more visible - directly pasted on the inner side of the door where users can see it immediately when opening the door, making it convenient for app scanning to unlock. In daily use, it's best to check if the code is worn or dirty and deal with it promptly to avoid delays. Keeping some wet wipes in the car to regularly clean and protect the QR code is a good habit.

As a professional frequently dealing with automobiles, I've noticed that vehicle QR codes are most commonly found in three locations: on the inside of the front windshield near the driver's side corner, adjacent to the VIN label for easy vehicle identification scanning; sometimes beneath the license plate frame or in concealed bumper areas, especially on test vehicles; occasionally there are small stickers under the hood for maintenance tracking - a quick scan reveals the service history, which is quite convenient. Car owners should be careful not to expose these stickers to prolonged sunlight, as high temperatures may cause them to peel or become illegible. Losing them means going through the hassle of reapplying at the vehicle management office.

Now smart cars are using QR codes to enhance the user experience. For example, my beloved car displays a QR code in the corner of the dashboard screen or on the infotainment system settings page. It lights up when the car starts, allowing you to simply scan it with your phone to connect to CarPlay or navigation services, eliminating the tedious pairing process. The placement is designed to be very user-friendly, just one tap away.

Having driven for decades, I've seen plenty of QR codes. The traditional placement is right below the front windshield near the wipers, alongside the annual inspection sticker or insurance certificate—simple and practical. Don't underestimate it; this is crucial for verifying a vehicle's authenticity. Sometimes when changing cars, you need to be careful not to damage it—just gently wipe it with a soft cloth.

When using shared cars, the QR code is usually easy to find, typically printed on a sticker above the dashboard or on the seat back. Just scan the code to unlock and start the vehicle, making urban travel particularly convenient. However, driving in the rain can easily splash and wet the code. It's advisable to take a photo as a backup after scanning, just in case, as losing it could affect usage.
