Can the 12123 Driving License Replace the Physical Driving License?
1 Answers
In cities piloting electronic driving licenses, the 12123 driving license can replace most functions of the physical driving license, but it cannot completely replace the physical driving license yet. In cities without the electronic driving license pilot program, the electronic driving license feature on the 12123 platform cannot be activated, so the electronic driving license cannot be used. The functions of the electronic driving license are not fully developed yet. Currently, the electronic driving license can be seen as an extension of the traditional physical license, or a simplified version that is more convenient and faster to use. Therefore, in cases such as license revocation or serious traffic accidents, the electronic driving license still cannot completely replace the traditional physical license. Moreover, when the physical driving license is temporarily suspended, the electronic driving license cannot be used either, and the status bar will show that the driving license is in an abnormal state. The electronic driving license can be used normally as a driving license, such as for car rentals and handling traffic accidents. It can also be presented to traffic police during vehicle inspections and used in many situations where the paper version was previously required.
