Can I apply for an electronic version of my driver's license?

Electronic driver's licenses are issued through the nationwide unified Traffic Management 12123 APP, so individuals can apply for an electronic driver's license. Use of electronic driver's license photos: When applying for an electronic driver's license for the first time, the 'Traffic Management 12123' APP will automatically retrieve the applicant's saved photo as the electronic driver's license photo. After the electronic driver's license is generated, applicants can voluntarily choose whether to replace the photo. For cases where no photo is saved, the 'Traffic Management 12123' APP will prompt the applicant to submit an electronic photo by taking a photo with their phone or selecting one from their photo album. Application method for electronic driver's license: The electronic driver's license will be issued through the nationwide unified 'Traffic Management 12123' APP. Drivers in cities where the service is promoted and applied can log in to the 'Traffic Management 12123' APP and follow the prompts to apply for an electronic driver's license.

Now the electronic driver's license is so convenient! You can apply for it by facial recognition through the 12123 Traffic Management APP, and it only takes two minutes. Last time I forgot to bring the physical copy, I just showed the electronic version to the traffic police without any issues. Remember to clear all violations before applying, and your license status must be valid to generate it. It's reassuring to keep it in your mobile wallet as a backup, but I recommend saving a screenshot in your photo album in case there's no internet connection for emergencies. When driving long distances, it's still safer to carry a physical copy, as some remote areas might not have their systems connected to the network.

The electronic driver's license is now universally valid across the country, but the correct procedure must be followed. First, download the 'Traffic Management 12123' app from the app store and register, then click on the electronic driver's license option and follow the prompts for facial recognition. Important reminder: If your driver's license is about to expire, you must renew it first. You cannot apply if you have accumulated 12 penalty points or if your license is suspended. When encountering a traffic police check, remember to open the dynamic QR code—screenshots are invalid! Last time, someone tried to use a screenshot and got fined, so don't make that mistake.

Veteran drivers recommend applying for an electronic driver's license as it's super convenient. I've kept my paper license at home for three years, and now I handle everything from checking violations to dealing with accidents using just my phone. However, note that there are a few situations where the physical license is mandatory: when your license is legally confiscated, when driving commercial vehicles, or if the car rental company has specific requirements. For handling violations in another jurisdiction, you might still need to show the original license. Friends who frequently take long-distance trips should still carry a laminated copy in the car.
