What is the purpose of the QR code on a driver's license?
2 Answers
Traffic police can scan the QR code with a handheld law enforcement device to view all the information of the driver's license holder. The QR code on the driver's license is also known as an electronic driver's license. Relevant information about the driver's license is as follows: 1. Introduction 1: The full name of the driver's license is the motor vehicle driver's license, also known as a driver's license. It is a certificate required by law for motor vehicle drivers. Driving a motor vehicle requires certain driving skills. Without these skills, driving a motor vehicle recklessly may lead to traffic accidents. Generally, individuals cannot drive on the road without a license. 2. Introduction 2: The motor vehicle driver's license refers to the legal certificate issued by the management department after a person who is legally allowed to learn to drive a motor vehicle has mastered traffic regulations and driving skills and passed the examination. During the six-year validity period of the motor vehicle driver's license, if the driver has not accumulated 12 penalty points in any scoring cycle, the license can be renewed for a ten-year validity period. During the ten-year validity period of the motor vehicle driver's license, if the driver has not accumulated 12 penalty points in any scoring cycle, the license can be renewed for a long-term validity period.
I'm the most qualified to talk about this QR code! Last year when I renewed my expired driver's license, I specifically researched this feature. That little square is actually an anti-counterfeiting electronic ID - scanning it with the Traffic Management 12123 app immediately displays your license's authenticity status. During roadside checks, traffic police can scan it to verify the document's validity period and driving eligibility in just 3 seconds, much faster than manual entry into police terminals. When handling traffic violations, some service points allow scanning the code to retrieve license information without presenting the original. But be extremely careful not to expose it carelessly - my buddy once casually posted his new license on social media, resulting in someone maliciously scanning the code to file false appeals, and it took half a month to resolve the mess.
