Just because the electronic driver's license is locked does not mean that the paper driver's license is invalid. According to China's "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving License", the driving license is divided into electronic version and paper version, both of which have the same legal effect. Therefore, even if the electronic driver's license is locked, you can still drive legally with a paper driver's license.

Benefits of electronic driving:

1. Electronic driver's license instead of paper driver's license can replace traditional paper driver's license, which avoids the trouble of forgetting to bring your driver's license and improves travel efficiency. At the same time, the electronic driver's license can be presented anytime and anywhere, which is convenient for drivers to verify their identity in traffic control, driving and renting vehicles, and it is no longer necessary to hold a paper driver's license.

2. In the process of insurance marketing application, the electronic driver's license can confirm the driver's driving qualification and ensure that the insurance company's claim application can proceed smoothly.

3. The electronic driver's license improves the work efficiency of the traffic control department, and there is no need to wait for inspection, which greatly shortens the time for approval and verification and improves the work efficiency.

To sum up, a paper driver's license is a legal proof of identity and driving qualification. When using a paper driver's license, you need to abide by the corresponding regulations and precautions. These regulations may include requirements on the custody, extension and scope of use of certificates. In addition, different regions and countries may have different regulations on paper driver's license, so drivers need to understand and abide by relevant local laws and regulations. At the same time, we should pay attention to the validity period of paper driver's license and related replacement procedures to ensure that our driver's license is always in a legal and effective state.
