Can I use a self-purchased driver's license protective cover?

You can use a self-purchased protective cover for your driver's license. The leather cover for the driver's license only serves a protective purpose, and the outer shell of the driver's license can be replaced. The essential parts of the driver's license are the original and the duplicate, and there are no restrictions on what you use to hold them; it doesn't matter even if you don't use a cover at all. Below is additional information: Driver's license expiration: After the expiration of the motor vehicle driver's license, it needs to be renewed. Upon renewal, it enters the second validity period, and the start date of the validity period changes from the initial issuance date. Definition of a driver's license: The full name of a driver's license is a motor vehicle driver's license, also known as a 'driving license.' It is a certificate required by law for individuals who operate motor vehicles. Driving a motor vehicle requires certain driving skills, and those lacking such skills may cause traffic accidents if they drive recklessly. Generally, individuals cannot drive on the road without a license. However, for those who have acquired safe driving skills, the document that permits them to drive vehicles on the road is the 'driver's license.' This indicates that a driver's license is a 'certificate of permission.'
Of course, you can use a self-purchased driver's license protector. I don't think there are any strict regulations requiring the use of official products. I've been driving for over ten years and have always used a leather cover bought from Taobao for just a few dozen yuan. It's waterproof, fold-resistant, and has a magnetic closure, making it incredibly convenient. The key is that it protects the license from scratches or getting wet, especially when left in the car during summer when high temperatures can cause it to age quickly. When choosing one, make sure not to get one that's too thick or has glitter, as it might obscure the license information during police checks, which could cause trouble. Some people opt for custom-designed ones for novelty, but just ensure it doesn't cover the expiration date or address. Anyway, a good-feeling and personalized cover not only makes you feel proud when taking out your license but also genuinely extends its lifespan.
I believe practicality is key when it comes to buying and using cars, and purchasing a driver's license protector yourself is completely feasible. I enjoy tinkering with car accessories and have noticed that the market offers a variety of materials for protectors, such as flexible and shockproof silicone, classic and durable leather, and lightweight, easy-to-clean transparent plastic. When choosing one, make sure it fits the size of your driver's license properly—not too loose—otherwise, it may fall off or deform. Some people find the original protector too plain and opt for custom versions with company logos, which is also quite convenient. The key is to consider the protector's durability; you don't want it to crack after a few uses and damage your license. I've compared several materials myself and found silicone to be the most practical and affordable option, plus it doesn't scratch your hands. Of course, remember to clean it regularly to prevent dust buildup from affecting the clarity of your license.
