How many card slots are required for a driver's license?

Driver's license requires 2 card slots. Introduction: The People's Republic of China Motor Vehicle Driver's License, abbreviated as driver's license or 'driver's permit', is a mandatory credential issued in accordance with the laws of the People's Republic of China for individuals operating motor vehicles. Driver's license contents: The 'People's Republic of China Motor Vehicle Driver's License' 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', which together form a valid motor vehicle driver's license. The supplementary page serves as a dedicated section for police to record the license's file number and relevant information, and both components are indispensable.
I've been driving for over ten years, and my driver's license is just a card, about the same size as an ID card, which fits neatly into a single slot in my wallet. Older wallet designs often had a dedicated compartment for driver's licenses, but nowadays, many slim wallets only have a single card slot layer, which still works fine. I always keep mine in the left slot for easy access when showing it to traffic police. A word of caution though: if the slot is too packed, it can easily bend the corners of the license, and demagnetizing the strip is even more troublesome. With the rise of digital driver's licenses, I keep a copy on my phone, so the physical card mostly stays tucked away, but it's always good to have it as a backup.
I've seen quite a few wallet designs. The standard driver's license size is 85mm×54mm, slightly larger than a credit card. Usually, wallets have at least two or three card slots, so dedicating one slot to the driver's license is no problem at all. Some people like to stack it with their ID card, but this can easily wear out the chip—it's better to keep them separate. We seasoned drivers are accustomed to keeping a card holder in the car with a dedicated spot for the driver's license, while gas cards and car wash cards are stored elsewhere. Remember, replacing a lost driver's license requires a trip to the DMV, so don't skimp on the card slot space.
