Is a Paper Driver's License Still Needed with an Electronic One?

[Byron]

In cities where electronic driver's licenses are being piloted, you can travel without carrying a physical driver's license. However, when driving on highways, it is necessary to bring the physical driver's license. When leaving the city and driving into other cities, you should also carry the physical driver's license. Convenience of Electronic Driver's License: The electronic driver's license can replace most functions of the paper driver's license. However, the current electronic driver's license is still dependent on the traditional driver's license. This means that if the traditional driver's license is lost or revoked, the electronic driver's license will also become invalid. Moreover, after revocation, you cannot use the electronic driver's license to handle related procedures. Of course, in pilot cities, the electronic driver's license can meet daily travel needs, and it is more convenient when encountering traffic police checks—just present the electronic driver's license. Standardizing Electronic Driver's License Issues: To standardize electronic driver's licenses and achieve nationwide uniformity, the first batch of nearly thirty cities has begun piloting a universally accepted electronic driver's license. This means that in these pilot cities, presenting the electronic driver's license alone is sufficient. The nationwide acceptance of electronic driver's licenses also resolves future issues regarding their uniformity.
