Can I use 12123 if I forgot to bring my driver's license?

Yes (but it is only valid when there is no traffic accident). The following is a related introduction to 12123: 1. Definition: The Traffic Management 12123 is the official client of the Internet Traffic Safety Comprehensive Service Management Platform, supported by the Traffic Management Research Institute of the Ministry of Public Security. It provides comprehensive traffic safety services for vehicle owners and drivers, including: personal user registration on the Internet service platform, appointment, acceptance, and handling of services such as motor vehicle/driver's license/illegal processing, traffic safety information inquiries, service notifications and reminders, service guidance, and road traffic services. 2. Main functions: user registration, binding personal motor vehicles and driver's licenses, handling of illegal acts recorded by electronic monitoring equipment, appointment for motor vehicle driver's license tests, and pre-selection of new vehicle license plates.
Last time I also left my driver's license at home, luckily the 12123 app came to the rescue. I just opened my phone, logged in, and clicked into the 'Driver's License' section, which displayed the electronic version with my name, surname, and license number. The police officer just scanned the code to verify it during the check. Nowadays, many places accept electronic proof, so there's no need to panic—but only if you've already bound your information on the Traffic Management 12123 app. It's best to set it up in advance to avoid delays due to app lag or poor signal. I usually also use it to check violations and handle services—it's quite convenient. But it's still safer to carry the physical license with you as a good habit to avoid trouble. Also, remember that the app has been updated to support electronic licenses in more cities. Before traveling, check local regulations, as some remote areas might not fully recognize them—having a backup plan never hurts.
