How to Apply for an Electronic Driver's License in Beijing?
2 Answers
Download, register, and log in to the "Traffic Management 12123" APP. Follow the process to click on the application. When applying for an electronic driver's license for the first time, the system will automatically retrieve the applicant's saved photo as the electronic driver's license photo. If there is no saved photo, "Traffic Management 12123" will prompt the applicant to submit an electronic photo via mobile phone camera, which will be reviewed by the traffic management department of the public security authority.
My experience applying for an electronic driver's license in Beijing was quite smooth, mainly involving downloading the 'Traffic Management 12123' app. I first searched, downloaded, and installed it from the mobile app store. During registration, I used my real identity information, including my name, ID number, and phone number, and completed the registration by receiving a verification code. After logging in, I found the 'Electronic Driver's License' entry in the app, uploaded photos of my ID card and driver's license, and the system required a facial recognition to ensure it was me. The whole process took about five minutes, and the approval was effective the next day if it went quickly. The benefit is that I don’t need to carry the physical license when driving, which is especially convenient at checkpoints or when parking. But I have to remind myself to keep my phone charged to avoid any mishaps. Other related features, like checking local driving records in Beijing, are also available in the app, making it a very practical modern tool. If users encounter issues, such as the app crashing, it's recommended to try again at another time or contact customer service for assistance.
