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, the applicant 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.
When I first encountered the e-driving license, I had the same question. Later, I found out that you can indeed change the photo. Generally, you can do this through mini-programs on platforms like Alipay or WeChat. Just find the e-driving license service section and upload a new photo that meets the requirements. The process is quite simple, though you might need to go through real-name verification, such as facial recognition, to confirm your identity. The advantage is that it's convenient to update your photo and keep it current, avoiding the awkwardness of using an old one. However, there are some limitations. For example, some cities might require a few days for approval before the change takes effect, and you need to ensure a stable internet connection. It's advisable to regularly check official guidelines and avoid trusting third-party apps, as they might compromise your privacy. Overall, this digitalization truly makes life more convenient, especially for frequent drivers like us.
