The embodiments of the present application disclose a license plate correction method and apparatus. A to-be-corrected license plate and a corresponding to-be-corrected vehicle-passing record are first determined. Similar license plates of the to-be-corrected license plate are determined. The vehicle-passing record for each similar license plate is matched with the to-be-corrected vehicle-passing record, thereby determining a matching probability of each similar license plate and the to-be-corrected license plate. A similar license plate is determined as a corrected license plate, wherein the matching probability between this similar license plate and the to-be-corrected license plate is highest. Therefore, a license plate that was incorrectly recognized can be corrected.
