As a seasoned driver who frequently travels on business, the digitization of driver's licenses has been a huge help. A few years ago, I had to carry a plastic-covered license booklet, but now it's all done with a tap on my phone. E-licenses are valid nationwide, including in your hometown's third-tier city. I've been checked in Beijing and encountered random inspections on Shanghai's elevated roads—just showing the electronic license page on the Traffic Management 12123 app got me through. Even the officers at checkpoints during my self-drive trip to Xinjiang recognized the QR code. If you forget your physical license, it's no problem—electronic licenses are still accepted at traffic police stations for handling violations. Just remember to apply for it in advance on the official app, take a proper photo, and the system approval is quick.
