Can the photo on an electronic driver's license be changed?
2 Answers
Electronic driver's license can have its photo changed. First-time application: When applying for an electronic driver's license for the first time, the "Traffic Management 12123" APP will automatically retrieve the applicant's pre-saved photo as the electronic driver's license photo. After the electronic driver's license is generated, you can voluntarily choose whether to change the photo. Photo changing process: You can find and enter the electronic driver's license module in the business center or driver's license module on the homepage of the "Traffic Management 12123" APP. After entering the electronic driver's license page, find the "Change Photo" option at the bottom of the page and click it to enter the "ID Photo Upload Instructions" page. Carefully read the instructions and upload the driver's electronic photo as required.
Actually, the photo on the electronic driver's license can be updated. I usually prefer handling these document matters on my phone. In the Traffic Management 12123 App, there's an update function—just select the photo replacement option. Upload a clear front-facing photo of yourself without sunglasses or excessive blur, ensure the dimensions meet requirements, and submit. The system review is quick, typically completed within a day or two. I've done it before when I got a haircut and wanted a fresher look. Carrying the electronic version is super convenient when out—no need to always have the paper copy. Life changes, and updating your photo promptly can prevent misunderstandings during facial recognition, like smoother access to parking lots or checks. By the way, I recommend developing a habit of regularly checking your driver's license to avoid unnecessary hassles.
