Starting from September 1st, the following 28 cities will begin to promote and apply electronic driver's licenses: Beijing, Tianjin, Shijiazhuang, Changchun, Daqing, Shanghai, Wuxi, Suzhou, Yancheng, Taizhou, Ningbo, Jiaxing, Nanchang, Jinan, Qingdao, Changsha, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Nanning, Chongqing, Chengdu, Mianyang, Zigong, Nanchong, Guiyang, Kunming, Xi'an, Yinchuan. Below is relevant information: Introduction: Electronic driver's licenses will be issued through the nationwide unified 'Traffic 12123' APP. Drivers in the promotion and application cities can log in to the 'Traffic Management 12123' APP and follow the prompts to apply for an electronic driver's license. It is important to note that applicants' driver's licenses must be valid. If a driver's license is detained, temporarily suspended, overdue for a medical examination, overdue for review, or announced as suspended, the electronic driver's license cannot be applied for. Usage: It can be used when handling traffic management business, undergoing law enforcement inspections, and extended to application scenarios such as passenger and freight transport, car rental, and insurance purchases. In other words, when encountering traffic police inspections or handling business, you can directly present your electronic driver's license. In the future, you can also present your electronic driver's license when renting a car.

As a frequent driver, I find the electronic driver's license incredibly convenient. It's now usable in all cities across the country, including major metropolises like Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou, as well as small counties and remote areas. After applying through the Traffic 12123 App, I can simply show my phone screen during police checks, eliminating the hassle of searching for a physical card. Car rental companies widely accept it too, saving time and being eco-friendly. Since its pilot launch at the end of 2021, the rollout has been rapid, achieving nationwide coverage by 2022. However, I must remind everyone to ensure their phone has sufficient battery and network signal when using it, as the App might not open otherwise. It's wise to keep a physical card as a backup. I recommend everyone download the App and register for a smoother and safer daily commute.

As a young driver, the electronic driver's license has significantly changed my daily life. It's supported in any city across the country, from my small hometown to popular tourist destinations. Through the Traffic 12123 App, I can instantly display my license on my phone. Whether it's during police checks or car rentals, just scanning the screen makes everything super convenient. This ease has made me worry-free even if I forget my physical card. The App is user-friendly—just download and register. Since its nationwide rollout in 2022, even suburban areas accept it. Just remember to carry a physical backup in areas with weak signals. Overall, this technology reduces the risk of losing cards and makes driving out more confident and efficient.

After driving for many years, I used to always worry about forgetting my driver's license. Fortunately, the electronic version is now universally available nationwide and can be used in every city. Just show it on the app and you're done. It's recognized by police checks and car rental scenarios, quickly expanding from pilot programs to full coverage. I still recommend carrying a physical card in case of issues. Overall, it's a significant improvement.
