Can I drive with an electronic driver's license after passing Subject 4?

[LeChase]

No, although the electronic document may be generated the day after passing Subject 4, you still need a physical driver's license to drive on the road. Here is relevant information: Electronic Driver's License: The electronic driver's license, commonly known as the 'e-license,' has been piloted in three cities—Tianjin, Chengdu, and Suzhou—since June 1, 2021, for the digitalization of motor vehicle driver's licenses. It provides drivers with online 'show license' and 'show code' services, better facilitating public travel and affairs. It will be fully promoted nationwide in 2022. Subject 4: Subject 4, also known as the Subject 4 theory test or driver's theory test, is part of the motor vehicle driver's license assessment. After the implementation of the 'Ministry of Public Security Order No. 139 of the People's Republic of China,' the Subject 3 test was divided into two parts: the road test and the addition of a safety and civilization knowledge test, commonly referred to as 'Subject 4,' which assesses 'driving ethics.' Because this test is conducted after Subject 3, it is commonly called the Subject 4 test. Officially, there is no Subject 4 in the official terminology.
