Can I have bangs in my driver's license photo?

Driver's license one-inch photos can have bangs. Introduction: The full name of the driver's license is the motor vehicle driver's license, also known as the "driving license," which is the certificate required by law for motor vehicle drivers. Permission: Driving a motor vehicle requires certain driving skills. Without these skills, driving a motor vehicle recklessly could lead to traffic accidents. Generally, people cannot drive on the road without a license. However, for those who have mastered safe driving techniques, 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 process that must be carried out by a specialized authority.
I remember when I applied for my driver's license last year, I specifically asked about bangs. The staff taking the photo said bangs are allowed as long as they don’t cover the eyebrows and eyes, so that facial features remain clearly visible—after all, the photo is used for identity verification. My hair was a bit long at the time, so I quickly pinned my bangs up with a clip to avoid being asked to retake the photo. If the bangs are too long and cover half the face, it might affect the clarity of the photo, and they’d likely ask you to tidy up before taking the shot. A friend of mine recently went through the same thing—his bangs were completely covering his forehead, and the staff directly told him to comb them back. In short, I’d recommend visiting a barber before the photo session or bringing a clip just in case. Don’t skip this step to avoid wasting a trip. Also, when renewing your license, don’t try to reuse old photos—only newly taken ones are valid.
