Can the motor vehicle driver's license be replaced with a leather case?
2 Answers
Driver's licenses can have their outer covers replaced. The essential parts of a driver's license are the main card and the supplementary card. The choice of how to carry them is up to the holder; even without an outer cover, it's perfectly acceptable. Regulations for driving vehicles: When driving a vehicle, both the main and supplementary cards of the driver's license must be carried. Failure to do so may result in a warning or a fine, a deduction of 1 point, and the detention of the motor vehicle until the violation is rectified—either by presenting the driver's license or having someone with a valid license drive the vehicle. Definition of a driver's license: A motor vehicle driver's license, commonly referred to as a driver's license or 'driving permit,' is a legal document required for operating motor vehicles. Driving a motor vehicle requires specific skills, and without these skills, operating a vehicle recklessly can lead to traffic accidents. Generally, individuals without a license are not permitted to drive on public roads.
I've been driving for over a decade and changed my driver's license holder three times. The original leather holder tends to crack after prolonged use, so I just buy a transparent plastic sleeve from a stationery store as replacement. But two things to note: First, don't obscure the photo, name or ID number on the license - a colleague once got stopped by traffic police for using a frosted cover. Second, never buy holders with police emblems or 'Public Security' markings, as this constitutes illegal use of police insignia and carries fines if discovered. I recommend plain transparent models - convenient for police inspection and durable. When changing holders, handle gently to avoid damaging the embedded chip.
