Motorists may present their e-driver's license via their mobile phones instead of the physical card to authorities in the event of an inspection or a traffic violation and the physical card is not accessible. Law enforcers from the LTO, as well as the agency's deputized agents, are required to recognize and accept a valid e-driver's license when these incidents arise. Only the official e-driver's license is a valid substitute for the physical driver's license. How to access your e-driver's licenseMotorists will automatically have access to their e-driver's license once they apply for a new license or renew their current one. A valid e-driver's license should contain your photo, identification details, and a scannable QR code/barcode for verification.
