The Department of Land Transport is getting trendy, introducing a QR code individuals can carry on their mobile phone to switch a bodily Thai drivers licence. Drivers will have the power to screenshot a “DLT QR licence” and use the image of the QR code as a substitute for any sort of bodily card.
The process to get a QR code as a licence is to bring your traditional licence to any DLT department workplace. There a motorist can change a traditional licence to a sensible licence that has a QR code linked to it. Then the new version of the licence could be scanned and uploaded online to be verified with the DLT database.
Once the licence, front and back, has been scanned or clearly photographed and the knowledge is proven to be clear and readable, it might be verified online and used as a alternative for a physical card. The QR code stored on a driver’s cell phone or one other device can then function a substitute for any driving or traffic-related identification.
But with the model new technology comes a further added bonus, as driver’s licenses are often used as identification verification. Printed copies of the DLT QR license screenshot in colour or black and white can be used rather than the driver’s licence card for any time a government agency requires a valid ID. A copy of the picture could be submitted with paperwork as a substitute of a copy of a bodily card.
Bonanza enabled cards will be issued for all new licenses, but previous traditional licenses will still be valid for the foreseeable future based on the DLT.
“Traditional driving licences can be used till they expire, after which they will be changed with a smartcard upon renewal. Those who maintain the lifetime driving license can use their traditional licence for so long as they like.”
