Can I stop carrying my driver's license if I have an electronic one?
1 Answers
You can travel without carrying a physical driver's license if you have an electronic one. However, this doesn't apply universally, as the electronic driver's license is currently only being piloted in certain cities and hasn't been implemented nationwide. Pilot cities for electronic driver's licenses: Currently, electronic driver's licenses are only available in 28 cities, including Tianjin, Suzhou, Chengdu, Beijing, Shijiazhuang, Changchun, Daqing, Shanghai, Wuxi, Yancheng, Taizhou, Ningbo, Jiaxing, Nanchang, Jinan, Qingdao, Changsha, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Nanning, Chongqing, Mianyang, Zigong, Nanchong, Guiyang, Xi'an, Yinchuan, and Kunming. How to apply for an electronic driver's license: The electronic driver's license will be issued through the nationwide "Traffic Management 12123" app. Drivers can log in to the "Traffic Management 12123" app and follow the prompts to apply for an electronic driver's license. It's important to note that applicants must have a valid driver's license. If the license is suspended, temporarily revoked, overdue for a medical check-up, overdue for review, or announced as invalid, the applicant will not be able to obtain an electronic driver's license.
