Is the Electronic Driver's License Nationwide Available Now?
1 Answers
Electronic driver's licenses are valid nationwide. During traffic police roadside checks, if a driver forgets to carry their physical driver's license, they are allowed to present an electronic driver's license with a QR code. Application channels for electronic driver's licenses: The electronic driver's license will be issued through the nationwide unified "Traffic Management 12123" APP. Drivers in cities where the service is available can log in to the "Traffic Management 12123" APP and follow the prompts to apply for an electronic driver's license. It should be noted that the applicant's driver's license must be valid. If the driver's license is suspended, temporarily revoked, overdue for medical examination, overdue for review, or announced as invalid, the electronic driver's license cannot be applied for. Electronic driver's license pilot program: Commonly known as the "electronic driver's license," the electronic driver's license was piloted in three cities—Tianjin, Chengdu, and Suzhou—starting from June 1, 2021, to provide drivers with online "license display" and "code display" services, better facilitating public travel and affairs. It will be fully promoted nationwide in 2022.
