Can a driver's license bought online be used?
2 Answers
Driver's licenses purchased online cannot be used, and severe penalties will be imposed if they are used. The relevant introduction to driver's licenses is as follows: Introduction 1: A motor vehicle driver's license is a legal document issued by the administrative authorities after a person who is legally allowed to learn to drive a motor vehicle has studied, mastered traffic regulations and driving skills, and passed the official examination. It permits the holder to drive a certain type of motor vehicle. Introduction 2: Driving a motor vehicle requires certain driving skills. Without these skills, driving a motor vehicle arbitrarily may lead to traffic accidents. Generally, people without a license are not allowed to drive on the road. However, for those who have acquired safe driving skills, the document that permits them to drive vehicles on the road is called a 'driver's license'.
I was just talking to a traffic police friend about this topic a few days ago. He said 99% of those driver's licenses sold online are fake and completely unusable. To get a legitimate driver's license, you must personally go to the DMV and take exams from Subject 1 to Subject 4, with fingerprint and facial recognition records. Nowadays, traffic police carry mobile terminals during inspections - fake licenses get exposed immediately upon scanning. Last year, a young man was caught using a fake license to drive for ride-hailing services. He was treated as driving without a license - not only did he get 15 days of administrative detention and a 5,000 yuan fine, but it also affected his personal credit, impacting future loans and civil service exam eligibility. I advise everyone not to take this shortcut - the safest way is to honestly enroll in a driving school.
