Where to Check Driver's License Status?

[IsabelleMarie]

You can check your driver's license status at the traffic police station violation handling hall, the comprehensive traffic safety service management platform, or via the Traffic Management 12123 app. Below are the specific steps to check driver's license status using the Traffic Management 12123 mobile app: 1. Login: Download 'Traffic Management 12123' from the app store; after opening, enter your account and password to log in. If it's your first time logging in, you'll need to complete the registration process first. 2. Fill in information: Provide the required information, such as ID card number, name, contact details, etc. After completing registration, return to the login page to log in. 3. Check status: After entering the homepage, find the 'My Driver's License' section; upon entering, input your driver's license number and file number to view the status information of your driver's license. The status bar of the driver's license will generally display one of three statuses: 'Normal', 'Violation Unprocessed', or 'Revoked'. This method is applicable to all models of Android and Apple systems.

This is a question I often get from neighbors. The most reliable way to check your driver's license status is through the Traffic Management 12123 app. After downloading and registering with your ID, you'll find an electronic version of your driver's license on the homepage, where you can see real-time updates on your points cycle, clearance date, and review deadlines. Once, my cousin checked it at a service area before a trip and found he'd missed his medical exam renewal. He immediately completed the procedure on 12123, saving a trip to the DMV. Now, I just check the validity period whenever I'm on my phone, and I also get push notifications for violations. My paper license is pretty much gathering dust at the bottom of a drawer now.

Our neighborhood security guard, Brother Wang, is in his fifties and doesn't use smartphones much. He always goes directly to the government service hall. With his ID card and driver's license, he scans his face at a self-service machine, and gets a status report in thirty seconds. To check demerit points, he has to take a number and queue at the counter, and can also handle any license renewals while he's there. The vehicle management office in our county town is less crowded in the afternoon. If you go after lunch, you usually don't have to wait. A reminder to everyone: avoid the end of the month and Mondays—the lines can be nerve-wracking.

Sending a text message works too! Last year, I taught my driving license students to edit a text message with 'JSZ' followed by the last four digits of their ID number, for example, JSZ1201101990XXXX, and send it to 106****6688 (the code varies by province) for China Mobile and China Unicom users. They would immediately receive a reply informing them of their current demerit point status and review deadline. However, the information displayed in the text message is relatively simple. For detailed records, it is recommended to also check using the 12123 app, with a data delay of up to two days at most.

Now the back of gas station receipts prints the website of the traffic management network. You can log in to your local traffic service website, enter your file number and ID card number to check online. Online registered users can view the penalty point curve chart for the last five years, which is more intuitive than the APP. Last time I showed someone that their 3-point speeding penalty from 2019 was still on record, they finally believed their point clearance date was actually at the beginning of next month. This kind of historical record is particularly useful for resolving disputes about point clearance.
