Why can't I find my parking ticket?

If you received an on-site parking ticket but cannot find it online, it may be due to delayed data updates. Please check the update status of relevant data promptly. Below is extended information about illegal parking: Definition of illegal parking: Illegal parking is a legal term referring to situations where vehicle parking violates Article 63 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China," such as parking in unauthorized locations. Timely handling of illegal parking: If illegal parking is not addressed promptly, the record will appear online. According to the Ministry of Public Security's regulations on illegal parking, if a traffic officer issues a parking ticket and attaches it to the vehicle, the vehicle owner will face penalties (i.e., fines and demerit points). The owner must report to the traffic police department within the time specified on the ticket, as the violation information may not yet have been entered into the system.
Once I received a parking ticket notice but couldn't find the details online. This might be because the system hadn't updated the records yet, causing a delay in entry. Input errors are also common, like missing a letter in the license plate number or entering a wrong digit. The platform undergoes maintenance from time to time, and during peak hours, high traffic can cause temporary glitches. Wait a day or two and try again. If you still can't find it, contact the traffic management bureau hotline immediately to prevent the fine from snowballing. I always take photos on the spot as evidence to avoid disputes. Handling it promptly is the most reassuring way to prevent it from affecting your credit or future parking.
