Could we replace our driving license with a mobile App?

Statistics say that today's young people They think more about technology than having the driving license . Until recently, we were looking forward to obtaining this permit, as it gave us great freedom. However, traffic restrictions and the high cost of living make it unfeasible for them to have a car . To this, we must add that the technology has replaced, in part, the feeling of freedom that I spoke to you before.

Among them, the driver's license, because your license will go from being physical to being digital.

My Argentina , this is the name of the mobile application that will simplify the lives of Argentines. In this app, available in the Apple Store and Google Play , all user data is uploaded and subsequently verified by email. In the driving section, the data relating to the license and vehicle documentation are recorded. These data, after being verified by the competent authority, have the same validity as the physical ones.
