Can a driver's license one-inch photo have bangs?

Driver's license one-inch photos can have bangs. Below is relevant information about driver's licenses: 1. Introduction: The full name of a driver's license is a motor vehicle driver's license, also known as a "driving license," which is a certificate required by law for motor vehicle drivers to apply for. 2. Permission: Driving a motor vehicle requires certain driving skills. Those lacking such skills may cause traffic accidents if they drive recklessly. Generally, people without a license cannot drive on the road. However, for those who already possess safe driving skills, the document that permits them to drive vehicles on the road is the "driver's license." The permission to drive vehicles is granted through the issuance of a driver's license. This indicates that obtaining a driver's license is a formal procedure that must be issued by a specialized authority.

Last time I helped a friend with their driver's license application, taking photos with bangs was allowed. Bangs are permitted but must not cover the eyebrows or eyes, as obscuring the face is not acceptable. This is because driver's license photos are used for identity verification, and bangs blocking the face can interfere with machine scanning or manual checks. I recommend visiting a photo studio before taking the picture to tidy up the bangs with a small hair clip to prevent them from flying around. Some people with bangs too long covering their foreheads had their photos rejected and had to retake them, wasting time and money. In short, the rules are clearly stated—bangs are a minor issue, but the key is to reveal the entire facial outline. Avoid wearing hats or accessories that cover the face. For safety, it's best to tidy up and look neat before taking the photo to avoid future hassles.

When I renewed my driver's license, my bangs were neatly trimmed to eyebrow level with no issues—the photo passed smoothly as long as facial features weren't obscured. The key rule is that bangs must not cover eyebrows or eyes, which are the basic requirements. The photographer will remind you to sit straight and adjust your hair; if bangs are too long, comb them to one side or use a bit of water to style them. A friend had their bangs hanging over their eyes in the photo and got rejected, forcing an extra trip to the DMV. So I learned to always carry a small comb to tidy my bangs before ID photos—it’s convenient and avoids hassle. Remember, your face must be clearly recognizable for daily driving and security checks—it matters.

Bangs are allowed in driver's license photos, but they must absolutely not cover facial features such as eyebrows or eyes. The face must be fully exposed without any obstructions. This is because the photo is used for identity verification, and bangs covering the face can lead to recognition difficulties or even affect law enforcement fairness. I've seen cases where people with bangs covering their eyes were questioned by traffic police, causing delays in processing due to unclear explanations. Therefore, it's crucial to pay special attention to keeping hair neat during photo-taking, with short or side-swept bangs being the safest option. Although the regulations are strict, they are reasonable, as ensuring road safety is the fundamental purpose.
