2 Answers
The provinces that have launched electronic driver's licenses include Jilin, Heilongjiang, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Shandong, Hunan, Guangdong, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, Sichuan, Guizhou, Shaanxi, Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, Yunnan, as well as the four municipalities directly under the central government. Functions of electronic driver's license: After obtaining an electronic driver's license, it can serve as a supplement to the traditional paper license. It can also be used to handle some simple traffic violation cases and minor traffic accident procedures. During driving, it can be presented to law enforcement officers for routine checks, greatly facilitating people's daily lives. How to apply for an electronic driver's license: Drivers with valid licenses can apply for electronic driver's licenses via the "Traffic Management 12123" app. However, licenses that are suspended, temporarily confiscated, overdue for medical checkups, overdue for review, or announced as invalid cannot be used to apply. Usage scope of electronic driver's license: The electronic driver's license is still in the promotion phase and has not achieved nationwide universal acceptance. If you cannot obtain a WeChat electronic driver's license through the above method, you can consult customer service in the WeChat team to check if your location supports WeChat electronic driver's licenses. Additionally, WeChat electronic driver's licenses have regional limitations and may not be applicable in other areas.
In my driving experience, many provinces have already implemented electronic driver's licenses, such as Beijing, Shanghai, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang. You can directly view your driver's license information using the Traffic Management 12123 APP. A while ago, when I traveled to Shanghai, the traffic police checked my car, and I just opened my phone for them to scan, saving me the trouble of forgetting the paper version. Provinces like Guangdong, Tianjin, Shandong, and Sichuan also support it now, making it super convenient when you're out and about—no need to constantly worry about losing your license or getting fined. Actually, the Ministry of Transport is promoting this nationwide, but specific provinces have lists on the APP, so it's best to download, register, and verify yourself. Another benefit of electronic licenses is environmental friendliness—less paper usage, and it can also synchronize updates for renewal dates. Don’t forget to turn on the APP’s location service to ensure the signal works well.
