Is the 12123 electronic driver's license useful?
1 Answers
The 12123 electronic driver's license is useful, but only in certain regions. The electronic driver's license is a convenience measure introduced by local authorities and is only applicable within their administrative jurisdiction, not nationwide. In areas where electronic documents are not yet implemented, a physical driver's license is still required. In regions where electronic driver's licenses are available, drivers can present the electronic information QR code of their driver's license and vehicle registration to undergo roadside checks, information verification, and handle certain on-site simplified traffic violation procedures. Important notes when presenting an electronic driver's license: 1. The electronic driver's license is not applicable for handling traffic violations such as temporary suspension, detention, or revocation of the driver's license; 2. The electronic driver's license cannot be used on highways. When driving on highways or across provinces, drivers must carry their physical paper driver's license; 3. Screenshots of the electronic driver's license on a phone do not have the same legal effect as a physical driver's license. Only real-time updated electronic documents are valid; 4. The electronic driver's license must match the holder's identity. If the vehicle is not registered under the driver's name, a physical vehicle registration document must also be presented.
