(DN) - On October 28, the Traffic Police Department of Dong Nai Province Police said: The unit is mobilizing people to provide driver's license information and coordinating the conversion of paper driver's licenses to PET plastic cards. This is an activity within the national digital transformation roadmap, aiming to build a synchronous, modern and convenient data system for people.

According to the Traffic Police Department of Dong Nai Provincial Police, PET driver's licenses are more durable, water-resistant, mold-resistant, and secure than traditional paper licenses. The cards are integrated with QR codes, allowing authorities to quickly and accurately verify information while reducing the risk of forgery.

Notably, when switching to PET cards, citizens' driver's license information will be updated in the National Population Database and can be integrated into the VNeID electronic identification application. People will no longer need to carry multiple documents when participating in traffic or carrying out administrative procedures.

Furthermore, the PET driving permit is a requirement for obtaining an international driving permit, facilitating Vietnamese citizens when studying, working, or living abroad.

The Traffic Police Department of Dong Nai Provincial Police is encouraging residents to actively cooperate, provide information, and convert their driver's licenses to PET cards in order to contribute to the modernization of management and better serve transportation needs.

Currently, citizens can convert their driver's licenses to PET cards at 23 locations, including: the Dong Nai Provincial Public Administration Service Center, the Citizen Reception Department in Area II of the Dong Nai Provincial Police (formerly the Binh Phuoc Provincial Police Headquarters), and 21 commune/ward police stations throughout the province (Police stations in the wards of Long Khanh, Binh Phuoc, Binh Long, Chon Thanh, Phuoc Long; and police stations in the communes of Long Thanh, Trang Bom, Dau Giay, Tri An, Tan Phu, Dinh Quan, Cam My, Xuan Loc, Nhon Trach, Bu Dang, Loc Ninh, Phu Nghia, Dong Phu, Tan Khai, Thien Hung, and Phu Rieng).
