The Chinese mainland is taking a significant step towards modernizing its traffic management system. On Monday, the Ministry of Public Security initiated a pilot program for digitized vehicle registration licenses across 60 cities, including major urban centers like Beijing and Tianjin.
Under Chinese law, drivers are required to carry both a driving license and a vehicle registration certificate while on the road. To streamline this process, over 2.15 million digitized licenses were issued on the first day of the pilot, marking a major milestone in the country’s push towards digital governance.
In addition to the digitized licenses, the ministry has enhanced its online traffic services platform, Traffic Management 12123. This upgrade includes the promotion of an auto replacement subsidy program, which has already benefited more than 63,000 drivers. These improvements are part of a broader effort to increase accuracy and convenience for users.
The enhanced online services have positively impacted over 4 million people and enterprises, according to the ministry. By reducing the need for physical documents and simplifying the process of managing vehicle registrations, the initiative aims to make daily commutes smoother and more efficient for millions of drivers.
This move towards digitization not only reflects China’s commitment to leveraging technology for better public services but also sets the stage for future innovations in traffic management and urban planning.
