I renewed at a post office last year August 2023 and they still print out the driving license card in hard plastic for me. I'm not sure if the new regulation requires all post offices to stop issuing driving license in physical card format or some post offices still issue them.

When I renewed my driving license last year, the officer asked if I wanted a physical card. I asked if there is additional charge for the card to be printed out and the officer said it's free, so why not take the physical card since it's free. Nowadays everything seems to be going digital and physical cards or papers are being reduced or eliminated completely. In other words, the mobile phone will cover everything.
