Shanxi Yuncheng has launched electronic driver’s licenses. Electronic driver's licenses are commonly known as "electronic driver's licenses." Starting from June 1, 2021, the electronic driving license of motor vehicles has been piloted in three cities, Tianjin, Chengdu, and Suzhou, providing drivers with online "show the license" and "show the code" services. To better facilitate people’s work and travel, it will be comprehensively promoted nationwide in December 2021.
On the basis of the pilot, the Ministry of Public Security decided that starting from September 1, 2021, Beijing, Tianjin, Shijiazhuang, Changchun, Daqing, Shanghai, Wuxi, Suzhou, Yancheng, Taizhou, Ningbo, Jiaxing, Nanchang, Jinan, Qingdao, Changsha, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Nanning, Chongqing, Chengdu, Mianyang, Zigong, Nanchong, Guiyang, Kunming, Xi'an, and Yinchuan are the first batch in the country to promote the application of electronic driver's licenses.
The electronic driver's license has three characteristics: uniformity, real-time and security, and achieves "three conveniences", as follows:
1. Application convenience. Drivers can log in to the "Traffic Control 12123" APP personal account to obtain it. The format of the electronic driver's license is unified across the country and has the same legal effect as the paper driver's license;
2. It is convenient to present. The electronic driver's license is generated through the National Public Security Traffic Control Electronic License System and dynamically displays the driver's license status. It can be applied to multiple scenarios such as law enforcement management and public security services, and is convenient for real-time query, real-time presentation, and real-time verification;
3. Easy to use. The electronic driver's license adopts digital signature anti-counterfeiting technology, which is authentic, unique, safe and reliable. Drivers can present their electronic driver's license to handle traffic management matters such as driving, traffic violations, and traffic accidents. They no longer need to submit a paper driver's license. Drivers can also present their electronic driver's license when making insurance claims, renting vehicles, or recruiting jobs. Related Units can verify driving qualifications online, making it more convenient for people to travel by car and better serving the development of enterprises and industries.
