Can the Original Driving License Still Be Used After Reporting It Lost?

[LaDante]

After reporting the loss of a driving license, the original license becomes invalid and cannot be used. Consequences of Continuing to Use the Old Driving License: Continued use may involve fraudulent or bribery activities related to the reissuance, replacement of vehicle registration certificates, license plates, driving licenses, and inspection stickers, and may result in a warning from the traffic management department of the public security authority. Relevant Legal Provisions: According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses" (Order No. 123 of the Ministry of Public Security): If the original driving license is lost and then found after a replacement has been issued, the driver must surrender the original license to the vehicle management office or destroy it themselves, and is not allowed to use both simultaneously. According to the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses" (Order No. 123 of the Ministry of Public Security): After a driver replaces their driving license, the original license becomes invalid and must not be used further. If a driver violates this regulation and continues to use the original license, the traffic management department of the public security authority will impose a fine and confiscate the original license.
