What are the contents of a driver's license?

Motor vehicle driving license consists of three parts: the license holder, the main page, and the supplementary page. Among them: the front of the main page is the signed core, and the back is the photo of the motor vehicle, which is sealed with a plastic cover. The supplementary page is the signed core. The following is the relevant introduction: The main page contains text information such as the People's Republic of China Motor Vehicle Driving License, license plate number, vehicle type, owner, address, usage nature, brand model, vehicle identification number, engine number, registration date, and issuance date. The supplementary page contains text information such as license plate number, file number, approved number of passengers, total mass, curb weight, approved load capacity, overall dimensions, approved towing total mass, remarks, and inspection records.
The driver's license is like my ID for driving, containing comprehensive information. The front displays basic details such as name, gender, and nationality, with the address and date of birth clearly stated. The most crucial part is the driver's license number, which is as important as the ID number. The file number might only be needed for replacements, but it's still good to remember. The initial issuance date is particularly critical because the renewal period is calculated based on it. My permitted vehicle type is C1, which is fully sufficient for driving regular cars. The back also shows the validity period—nowadays, new licenses are renewed every 10 years. At the very bottom is the issuing authority, which is the name of our local vehicle management office. Remember to carry both the original and the duplicate copy, as missing the duplicate during a random check can be troublesome. Every time I rent a car, the staff carefully checks the permitted vehicle type—it's important not to drive vehicles beyond the allowed range.
