Can the Leather Cover of a Driver's License Be Replaced at Will?

The leather cover of a driver's license can be replaced. Here is some relevant information about driver's licenses: 1. Introduction: The full name of a driver's license is the Motor Vehicle Driving License, which is a certificate required by law for individuals who drive motor vehicles. Driving a motor vehicle requires certain driving skills. 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 mastered safe driving techniques, the document that permits them to drive on the road is called a 'driver's license.' This indicates that a driver's license is a 'certificate of permission.' 2. Examination Content: The test subjects include traffic regulations and related knowledge, field driving, and road driving (including safe and civilized driving). Prior to each subject test, an appointment must be made (special circumstances may be scheduled through the green channel for driving tests), and the test is taken after the appointment.

The leather cover of a driver's license can usually be replaced by oneself. As someone who drives daily, I've changed mine several times. Mainly because the old one became worn out, or I didn't like the color—buying a new one is simple and inexpensive. When replacing it, be careful not to damage the license itself, such as tearing the paper body or covering key information like the photo and barcode, as this might affect police inspection. It's advisable to remove the license before changing the cover, handling it gently and using a new cover made of soft material for better protection and improved feel. Don't worry about strict regulations—it's just a protective layer; as long as the license content is legal, there's no issue. Driving with the license can cause wear, so regularly changing the cover is common sense, but don't do it too frequently to avoid getting it dirty or lost.

In many vehicle maintenance scenarios I've encountered, car owners frequently replace their driver's license holders, which I find quite normal. If the old holder is damaged or discolored, it's time for a new one, preferably made of thick, waterproof material to avoid moisture damage in damp environments. When handling, avoid pulling the old holder too hard to prevent scratching the license; the new holder should fit the size properly—neither too big nor too small, as it affects grip and quick presentation. Be careful during the replacement to avoid losing the license or personal information, and cleaning the license surface can help maintain clarity. Common issues include holder aging affecting usability, so spending a little on a good one saves hassle without compromising legal validity.

Legally, there are no restrictions on replacing the leather cover of a driver's license. From a regulatory perspective, this falls under personal choice. However, when replacing it, you must ensure that the cover does not obscure any content on the license, such as the photo, name, or barcode. Otherwise, it may be considered an incomplete document, potentially leading to fines during traffic checks. When purchasing a cover, prioritize official products and avoid decorations with illegal symbols. Although the cover itself does not require registration, the main body of the license must not be altered. A relevant suggestion is that in humid or dusty driving conditions, replacing the cover can better protect against damage and extend its lifespan.
