Can I drive with only a photocopy of the vehicle license?

A photocopy of the vehicle license is not acceptable for driving. According to traffic regulations, drivers must carry the original vehicle license with them at all times, otherwise they will be fined. The vehicle license consists of three parts: the license holder, the main page, and the supplementary page. The front of the main page contains the signed core of the license, while the back features a photo of the vehicle, both sealed in plastic. The supplementary page contains another signed core, with the text on the front of the main page printed in black. Article 11 of the Road Traffic Safety Law states: When driving a motor vehicle on the road, the vehicle must display its license plate, have valid inspection and insurance labels, and carry the original vehicle license. The license plate must be displayed clearly and completely as required, without intentional obstruction or damage. To apply for a replacement or reissue of the vehicle license, the following documents are required: 'Application Form for Replacement/Reissue of Motor Vehicle License Plates and Certificates'; the identity proof of the vehicle owner and a photocopy; if an agent is handling the process, the agent's identity proof and a photocopy must also be provided.
