According to the news of Shanghai Traffic Police Public Security Bureau Corps, mutual recognition of electronic licenses including electronic driver's license and driving license will be implemented from September 30. After the implementation of mutual recognition, the owner shows the electronic certificate to the traffic police, without having to carry a paper certificate. After the verification status is normal, it will also be recognized. The traffic police won't fine and deduct points because the owner doesn't carry documents.
Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui provinces and cities also cover a wide range. Both the traffic volume and the number of private cars rank among the top in the country. I think the implementation of mutual recognition of electronic certificates has greatly facilitated the general public. There is also to improve the work efficiency of the traffic police and reduce some unnecessary troubles, such as waiting for the owner to find documents, and pleading with the traffic police in special circumstances, such as because the owner has no documents.
With the popularity of the Internet, we can actually bind many certificates to electronic certificates in software, such as the electronic social security card on the payment software, which can be used in some pharmacies to display the payment code, saving the trouble of swiping the card with a paper social security card.
It would be better if the mutual recognition of electronic driver's licenses can be used nationwide, but I don't think it will be realized so soon because the national scope is too wide. For the management of electronic driver's license, collecting information and updating the database is a relatively big task, and it is not suitable for the whole country without full mastery.
The mutual recognition of the four provinces and cities is also a pilot. After the implementation of this mutual recognition, we can see the concrete effects and problems, and the relevant departments can solve and sum up the experience, and also lay a good foundation for the implementation nationwide in the future.
