Does an expired digital driver's license need to be replaced?
1 Answers
An expired digital driver's license needs to be replaced. For those who have already applied for a digital driver's license, if there are changes in the permitted vehicle types, license validity period, or issuing authority, they must reapply for a digital driver's license after completing the license replacement process. Channels for applying for a digital driver's license: The digital driver's license will be issued through the nationwide unified "Traffic Management 12123" platform. Drivers in cities where the platform is promoted and applied can log in to "Traffic Management 12123" and follow the prompts to apply for a digital driver's license. It should be noted that the applicant's driver's license must be valid. If the driver's license is suspended, temporarily revoked, overdue for medical examination, overdue for review, or announced as discontinued, the digital driver's license cannot be applied for. Digital driver's license pilot program: The digital driver's license, commonly known as the "electronic driver's license," was piloted in three cities—Tianjin, Chengdu, and Suzhou—starting from June 1, 2021, for the digitalization of motor vehicle driver's licenses. It provides drivers with online "license display" and "code display" services, better facilitating public affairs and travel. It will be fully promoted nationwide in 2022.
