What to Do If Caught by Traffic Police Without Carrying Driving License?

[AutumnLynn]

If you are caught by traffic police without carrying your driving license, just follow the normal procedure. Generally, there is no issue as long as you indeed possess a driving license; forgetting to bring it does not constitute driving without a license. You can choose to present your motor vehicle driving license and ID card to the traffic police for registration. As long as the traffic police verify through the system that you have a valid driving license using these documents, there should be no problem. You can also use an electronic driving license, which can be applied for via WeChat or the Traffic Management 12123 app. Once obtained, it can be used in emergencies when you forget your physical driving license. The driving license is the legal document permitting a motor vehicle to drive on roads within China. It consists of three parts: the license holder, the main page, and the supplementary page, issued by the Vehicle Management Center to verify the authenticity of vehicle information.
