Applying for a Suzhou electronic driver's license is quite easy—I just did it last year. First, you need to download the Traffic Management 12123 App on your phone, register an account with your phone number, and complete the step-by-step identity verification, including facial recognition and uploading a photo of your ID card. After logging in, go to the driver's license services section on the homepage, click on the electronic driver's license application, and upload a recent photo as required. The photo must be a front-facing, bareheaded shot with good lighting and a simple, uncluttered background. After uploading, submit the application, and the system will automatically review it. You'll get the results in a few minutes or hours. Once approved, the electronic version will appear in the App, and you can simply show your phone for checks or official matters—much more convenient than carrying a physical card. Make sure all the information is correct, as non-compliant photos will require resubmission. Suzhou uses this national unified platform via the App, which is eco-friendly and efficient. I recommend regularly checking for App updates to ensure it's always ready for use.

I got my electronic driver's license through the Traffic Management 12123 App. First, download the App and register an account. The real-name authentication step is crucial—fill in your phone number and ID information. Then, select the driver's license section on the main interface, click on the electronic license application, and upload a standard photo (make sure it's clear with a white background). After submission, the system reviews it quickly—mine was approved in less than half an hour. Now, I can view the electronic version in the App anytime. The best part is not worrying about forgetting the physical card when going out—just show the screen to the traffic police during checks, making daily commutes easier. Suzhou's process is seamless, just like other cities, but double-check the photo size and lighting before uploading. I also recommend regularly backing up App data in case of phone loss. The whole process is incredibly simple—you’ll get it on your first try.

Select the driver's license section to apply for the electronic version, and upload a front-facing photo with a plain background. It can be used after approval. Note that the photo must be clear with a solid background. This method is uniformly convenient in Suzhou.
