How long does it take to get an electronic driver's license after passing the driving test?

Electronic driver's licenses require personal application. As of now, electronic driver's licenses are still not universally applicable nationwide and have not reached a state of widespread adoption. Therefore, it is still necessary to carry your physical driver's license when traveling to avoid forgetting or being stopped by traffic police. Here are three advantages of electronic driver's licenses: 1. Uniformity: Issued through an app, the format of electronic driver's licenses is standardized nationwide. Electronic driver's licenses have the same legal effect as physical ones. 2. Real-time: Electronic driver's licenses are generated through the national public security traffic management electronic license system, dynamically displaying the status of the license, making it convenient for real-time queries, presentations, and verifications. 3. Security: Digital signature anti-counterfeiting technology is used to effectively prevent tampering and forgery, ensuring the authenticity, uniqueness, safety, and reliability of electronic driver's licenses.
After passing the driving test, the electronic driver's license can generally be obtained almost immediately, but it must be done through the official Traffic Management 12123 App. I just got my license last year. On the day I received the physical driver's license, I logged into the App, registered an account, bound my ID card and driver's license information, and then clicked to apply. The electronic version of the driver's license was generated and displayed immediately. The whole process went smoothly, taking less than ten minutes. It is completely legal and can be shown to traffic police during roadside checks or used for online fine payments. Before downloading the App, it's advisable to check if your phone's internet connection is stable to avoid minor issues caused by data delays. Additionally, it's better to carry the physical driver's license as a backup when driving, in case your phone runs out of battery or the App malfunctions—safety first, after all. Overall, this electronic version is very convenient and is part of the traffic department's policy to facilitate public services.
