Can the Vehicle License and Driver's License Be Kept Together?
2 Answers
Driver's license and vehicle license can be carried together in one booklet either on your person or in the vehicle. Below are the relevant introductions about the driver's license and vehicle license: 1. Vehicle License: It serves as the "identity proof" for motor vehicle drivers. It consists of the "People's Republic of China Motor Vehicle License" and the "People's Republic of China Motor Vehicle License Supplementary Page." The license records information such as the license plate number, vehicle type, the owner's personal (or organizational) name, address, vehicle brand and model, usage nature, technical data of the vehicle's manufacturing, and the issuance date of the document. 2. Driver's License: It is the driving permit for drivers to operate motor vehicles. It consists of the "People's Republic of China Motor Vehicle Driver's License" and the "People's Republic of China Motor Vehicle Driver's License Supplementary Page." The license records the driver's personal information, initial issuance date, permitted vehicle types, file number, valid start date, and expiration date.
I've been driving for almost ten years, and keeping these two booklets together has never been an issue. I usually store my vehicle license and driver's license in a transparent card holder tucked beside the glove box, making it super convenient to pull them out during traffic police checks. Just make sure they're secured properly – once they fell into the air vent due to bumps, and it took me forever to retrieve them. The key is to develop a habit of regular checks to prevent documents from getting warped by AC airflow or dampness, especially in summer when high temperatures inside the car can cause the plastic laminates to bubble. I also bought a fireproof document pouch online, so parking under scorching sun isn't a concern anymore.
