2 Answers
Jilin Province has already launched electronic driver's licenses. Launch of electronic driver's licenses: Starting from October 20, 2021, following the first batch of nationwide promotion and application, the electronic driver's license initiative as part of public security traffic management convenience measures will be promoted and applied in the second batch of 110 cities including Jilin, Taiyuan, Shenyang, and Harbin. The second batch of promotion and application cities includes Jilin, Baicheng, Siping, and Tonghua. These 110 cities in the second batch will stagger the launch of the electronic driver's license application function from October 20 to 26. Usage of electronic driver's licenses: Electronic driver's licenses can be applied for through the nationally unified traffic management 12123P platform. Electronic driver's licenses issued by promotion and application cities are valid nationwide and can be presented for use when handling traffic management services or during law enforcement inspections.
Yes, the electronic driver's license has long been available in Jilin Province. Nowadays, I often rely on it when driving out, eliminating the need to rummage through my wallet for the physical card. You can apply for it through the Traffic Police 12123 mobile app with just a few simple steps: download the app, upload your ID information, take a photo for review, and wait a few minutes for approval before the electronic license is stored in your phone. It's super convenient and hassle-free to present it during traffic police checks. I've also found that it helps avoid losing or damaging the physical license, especially in summer when keeping it in your pocket can easily lead to wear and tear. Driving to Changchun or nearby cities is smooth, and the fact that it's valid nationwide is quite reliable. I recommend regularly updating the app version to ensure stability. In short, in Jilin, just carrying your phone takes care of all your driver's license needs.
