Can the plastic cover of the driver's license be replaced?

The plastic cover of the driver's license can be replaced, as the outer shell is not a component of the driver's license itself. The driver's license consists of the "People's Republic of China Motor Vehicle Driving License" and the "People's Republic of China Motor Vehicle Driving License Supplementary Page". Below is an introduction to the motor vehicle driver's license: 1. Definition of a motor vehicle driver's license: It refers to a legal document issued by the administrative authorities to individuals who have legally been permitted to learn to drive a motor vehicle, have mastered traffic regulations and driving skills through training, and have passed the official examinations, granting them permission to drive a specific type of motor vehicle. 2. Examination subjects for the motor vehicle driver's license: These include traffic regulations and related knowledge, field driving, and road driving (including safe and civilized driving), totaling three subjects.
I've replaced my driver's license holder several times myself. After prolonged use, the plastic tends to turn yellow, crack, or even deform, especially after being exposed to the summer sun. Changing the outer shell is really no big deal—you can easily buy transparent protective covers online for just a few bucks, often with free shipping. I bought the kind with a matte finish to prevent fingerprints, and it fits snugly without any looseness. But be careful not to buy styles with decorative clips—once, a colleague's holder had a metal logo that scratched the magnetic strip on the license. A traffic officer once reminded me during a check that such covers must not obscure the original ID number or personal information. Here's a little tip: before installing a new cover, it's best to wipe the license card with an alcohol swab, as static electricity inside the plastic shell tends to attract dust particles.
