What does the digitalization of motor vehicle driver's licenses mean?
1 Answers
The digitalization of motor vehicle driver's licenses refers to the transition from offline paper licenses to online electronic driver's licenses. The digitalization of driver's licenses involves issuing electronic versions of motor vehicle driver's licenses (referred to as "electronic driver's licenses") through the nationally unified "Traffic Management 12123" app, providing drivers, related industries, and administrative departments with services for "displaying licenses" and "displaying codes." Method for applying for an electronic driver's license: Applications must be submitted through the "Traffic Management 12123" app, and the applicant's driver's license must be valid. Electronic driver's licenses cannot be applied for if the license is suspended, temporarily confiscated, overdue for medical examination, overdue for review, or announced as discontinued, among other situations. Circumstances where electronic driver's licenses cannot be used: If a driver violates any of the five situations specified in Article 29 of the "Procedures for the Handling of Road Traffic Safety Violations" that require the temporary confiscation of the driver's license, such as driving under the influence of alcohol; handing over the vehicle to someone without a driver's license or whose license has been revoked or temporarily confiscated; driving at speeds exceeding 50% of the legal limit; driving a modified or scrapped vehicle on the road; or accumulating 12 penalty points within a single scoring cycle.
