Will the vehicle still be displayed in 12123 after the transfer of ownership?

After the transfer of vehicle ownership, the vehicle will still be displayed in 12123. Here are several methods to check the vehicle transfer records: 1. Local Vehicle Management Office: You can personally visit with your ID card and a copy of it, along with the proof and documentation of the vehicle ownership transfer. For vehicle transfers involving customs supervision, you need to submit the "Certificate of Release from Supervision of Customs Supervised Vehicles of the People's Republic of China" or a customs-approved transfer certificate. 2. Vehicle Registration Certificate: The vehicle registration certificate that comes with the vehicle contains records of any changes to the vehicle.
A few days ago, I just helped a friend with a vehicle transfer. After the transfer, the car immediately disappeared from his 12123 APP. This actually makes sense—once the car is transferred to someone else, it means the ownership has changed in the vehicle management system, so the original owner naturally can't see it anymore. I specifically asked the DMV staff, and they said the system updates automatically, with no manual steps required. However, it's important to check for any outstanding traffic violations before transferring ownership. I once ran into a situation where the buyer discovered an unpaid speeding ticket after the transfer and had to come back to me, which was quite a hassle. If the car still shows up in the APP after the transfer, it’s likely due to unsynced data—just wait a day or two, and it should resolve itself.
