Cannot be bound. A driver's license can only be registered under the name of the license holder. You must visit the vehicle management office in person for facial verification to bind the driver's license. Age requirements for applying for a motor vehicle driver's license: 1. Small cars, etc.: For small cars, small automatic transmission cars, and light motorcycles, the applicant must be between 18 and 70 years old. 2. Low-speed trucks, etc.: For low-speed trucks, three-wheeled cars, ordinary three-wheeled motorcycles, ordinary two-wheeled motorcycles, or wheeled self-propelled machinery, the applicant must be between 18 and 60 years old. 3. Buses, medium and large passenger vehicles, etc.: For city buses, medium-sized passenger vehicles, large trucks, trolleybuses, or trams, the applicant must be between 21 and 50 years old.
Binding your driver's license to your dad's car is actually quite convenient using the Traffic Management 12123 APP. I don’t drive often, but I’ve bound it to my dad’s car before, and the steps are pretty straightforward: First, download the official APP, register and log in, then bind your driver’s license using your ID number. Next, go to the vehicle binding section in the APP, enter basic information like your dad’s car’s license plate number and the last six digits of the engine number. Then submit for review—the system will automatically verify your identity, and you might need to confirm via SMS verification code. Once completed, you’ll promptly receive notifications for traffic violations or annual inspection reminders for the car, saving your dad the hassle of manual checks. This is especially handy for young professionals managing shared car usage. Just make sure your dad has set up vehicle ownership in the APP before binding, or it might fail. If the APP doesn’t work, sometimes the DMV can handle it for you, but online is usually more convenient.
