Why this check matters

Check the complete path, not one setup step.

A generic 12306 error does not tell you whether the blocker is the passenger name, passport image, review status or a temporary system response. Answer focused questions to narrow the likely failure point.

Verification status

Separate a pending review from a failed, rejected or never-submitted passenger record.

Passport image

Check whether the upload method or image quality is the likely blocker.

Passenger name

Compare spelling, order and document details with the original passport.

Booking fallback

Decide when Trip.com or a staffed station counter becomes the sensible recovery path.

Frequently asked questions

Before you start the check.

How long should I wait for 12306 passport verification?

Use the status and timing shown by 12306, then check again before ticket sales open. Keep another booking channel ready if the review remains pending.

Does 12306 require a Chinese phone number?

Do not treat the phone number alone as proof of passenger verification. Confirm the actual passenger status and keep reliable access to the account contact method.

Can I use Trip.com if 12306 verification fails?

Trip.com can be a fallback booking channel, but confirm its passenger requirements, fees and final issued-ticket status rather than assuming a request is a ticket.
