What documents are required to drive on the road?

When driving on the road, you need to carry a driver's license and a motor vehicle driving license. Here is more information about forgetting to bring your driver's license: 1. Use valid identity documents: Valid identity documents include ID cards, military officer certificates, passports, etc. These are also official documents in China and contain a lot of personal information. Therefore, if you can provide these documents when you forget to bring your driver's license, the traffic police can check whether you have obtained a driver's license through the online system. 2. Alipay document folder function: The Alipay mobile APP has a document folder function where you can input ID card information or driver's license information. Therefore, if you can provide such electronic information of your driver's license, it is also a good way to prove your identity.
The most important things to drive on the road are the driver's license and vehicle registration certificate, both of which must be carried in the car. Nowadays, many cities are promoting electronic driver's licenses. You can register in advance on the Traffic Management 12123 APP and simply show your phone when inspected. However, it's still advisable to carry the physical documents for safety, especially when traveling to other places. The vehicle annual inspection sticker is now mostly digitalized, and it's best to keep a backup of the insurance policy on your phone. Temporary license plates must be fully affixed to the front and rear windshields. It's also good to carry your ID card, as personal information is often verified during checks. Don't underestimate these documents—last time I was stopped by traffic police and registered for half an hour just because I didn't have my vehicle registration certificate.
