Can a driver's license be used as an ID card?
1 Answers
Driver's licenses and ID cards are not interchangeable, and a driver's license cannot be used as a substitute for an ID card. The reasons are as follows: 1. Different purposes: An ID card proves identity, while a driver's license proves the qualification to drive a motor vehicle. Each document has its own specific use and cannot be mixed. 2. Different levels of importance: A resident ID card is a legal document used to prove the holder's identity, issued by the government to citizens as an important identity document. On the other hand, a driver's license is managed by the traffic management department of public security authorities and has not achieved nationwide unified management. A large portion of the Chinese population does not yet possess a driver's license, so it cannot be used as a substitute for an ID card as in some developed countries like the United States.
