Can the photo on a driver's license be changed?
1 Answers
The photo on a driver's license cannot be changed directly, as doing so would render it a counterfeit document. However, you can replace the photo by reporting the loss of your driver's license to the vehicle management office and then applying for a replacement with the required documents and a new photo. According to relevant regulations, if a motor vehicle driver's license is lost, the driver must apply for a replacement at the vehicle management office where the license was originally issued or at another authorized office. When applying, you need to fill out an application form and submit the following documents and proofs: 1. The driver's identity proof; 2. A written statement declaring the loss of the driver's license; 3. The original ID card and a passport-style photo. If the application meets the requirements, the vehicle management office should issue a replacement driver's license within one day. After receiving the new license, the original one becomes invalid and must not be used anymore.
