Driver's licenses can be used in electronic form, but the paper version is more secure. Here are the relevant details: Relevant details: An electronic driver's license is a type of license designed to prevent some drivers from forgetting to carry their physical license, avoiding the embarrassment of not having it. It can also be used for simplified penalty procedures in traffic violations involving fines not exceeding 200 yuan and deductions of less than three points. Progress: On April 12, 2017, Yancheng traffic police introduced an "electronic driver's license," primarily to provide convenience to the public, not to encourage drivers to stop carrying their physical licenses. Reform: On May 10, 2021, the Ministry of Public Security held a press conference to announce 12 convenience measures under the "Do Practical Things for the People" initiative to deepen the reform of public security traffic management "simplification, decentralization, and optimization of services." It was announced that starting from June 1, 2021, electronic driver's licenses would be piloted in three cities: Tianjin, Chengdu, and Suzhou.
