The QR Code on Your Smart Driver’s License: What’s It For?

If you use a smart driver’s license, you might not have noticed the QR code on the back. When scanned, it may look like just a string of numbers, but it holds significant benefits for drivers.

What Does the QR Code Do?

The QR code on the back of your smart license works with the DLT QR Licence app from the Department of Land Transport in Thailand.

Scanning the QR code simplifies the registration and activation process for the app.
