In which cities can the electronic driver's license be used?
2 Answers
Electronic driver's licenses can only be used in Tianjin, Chengdu, and Suzhou. Functions of the electronic driver's license: Currently, most regions have implemented electronic driver's licenses and electronic vehicle licenses. Drivers can present the QR code of their driver's license and vehicle license electronic information for roadside inspections, information verification, and handling certain on-site simplified traffic violation procedures. Generation of electronic driver's license: Register and log in to 12123, and the driver's license QR code can be automatically generated, which can be scanned to identify the license. For first-time users of WeChat electronic driver's licenses, personal information such as name, ID number, and document location must be filled in.
As a seasoned driver with years of experience in transportation, I've witnessed the nationwide rollout of electronic driver's licenses firsthand. Now, e-licenses are accepted in all cities across China, from major metropolises like Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou to small counties and rural areas—no exceptions. I handle everything through the 12123 Traffic Management App. Last year at a highway checkpoint when I forgot my physical license, showing the electronic version was accepted by traffic police, saving me from a ticket. After downloading the app and completing real-name authentication, I just carry my phone—no more worries about losing documents or forgetting them. This system is incredibly practical: during traffic jams or holiday rushes, inspection speeds double, and you can simultaneously check violation records. Overall, the national implementation has made driving smoother and safer.
