How to Apply for an Electronic Driver's License in Jiangsu?
2 Answers
To apply for an electronic driver's license in Jiangsu, you need to log in to the "Jiangsu Government Services" APP. On the "My" page, select "My Certificates," then click "Add" on the following page. Choose either "Motor Vehicle Driver's License" or "Motor Vehicle Registration Certificate" and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the process. Starting from September 30, 2020, electronic driver's licenses and vehicle registration certificates from Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Anhui will be mutually recognized. Key points include: 1. The recognized electronic certificate display channels are the official government service apps of the four regions: Shanghai's "Suishenban" APP, Jiangsu's "Jiangsu Government Services" APP, Zhejiang's "Zhejiang Online" APP, and Anhui's "Wanxitong" APP. 2. Drivers can only display their own electronic driver's license and the electronic vehicle registration certificate for vehicles under their name.
As an ordinary driver from Jiangsu, I've personally experienced applying for an electronic driver's license, and it's super simple. Step 1: Download the 'Traffic Management 12123' App from your mobile app store. Step 2: Open the App, register an account, enter your ID number and phone number, and complete real-name authentication. Step 3: Upload clear photos of your driver's license, both front and back. Step 4: Submit the application and wait for approval, which usually takes one or two days. Once approved, the electronic driver's license will be displayed directly in the App. The benefit is that it's convenient to carry around—just show it to the police during checks, and it also prevents loss and saves time. However, I’d like to remind everyone to keep the paper driver's license as a backup in case your phone runs out of battery or there's no network connection. The whole process is done on your phone, eliminating the need to visit the vehicle management office and saving you from queuing. Before applying, make sure the photos are high-quality and not blurry to avoid rejection and delays. Overall, this digitalization is thoughtful and fits well with a fast-paced lifestyle.
