Do I need to take photos on the day of driver's license registration?

Photos are required on the day of driver's license registration. Below is expanded information on the photo requirements for driver's license registration: 1. Purpose of the photos: The photos are mainly used for the forms filled out during registration, the forms used during exams, the forms in the driving school's archives, and the photo on the driver's license. Generally, you need to submit 7-20 photos, depending on local requirements. 2. Photo requirements: One-inch color photo with a white background. Hair should not cover the ears or eyebrows, and no jewelry should be worn. If you usually wear glasses, you should also wear them in the photo (except for contact lenses), and wear non-white clothing.
I remember on the day I went to sign up for my driver's license, the staff did ask me to take a photo on the spot for the license photo. The whole process was very quick—there was a small photo studio at the driving school. I stood in position, and they snapped the photo in an instant. Before taking the photo, they reminded me to wear a dark-colored top and not to smile too exaggeratedly, as a light background or odd expressions could affect the quality. I thought this was great—it saved me the trouble of going to a photo studio separately. The registration process includes a medical check-up, filling out forms, etc., and taking the photo is just one part of it, usually included in the fee. Just bring your ID card, and they’ll handle the photo part. If you sign up in the morning, the lighting is better, and the photo quality will be higher. In short, taking the photo is a small step, but don’t be late to avoid wasting time—arriving 10 minutes early is best.
From my experience, taking a photo on the day of driver's license registration is necessary because you need a standard ID photo for your license. On-site photography ensures the authenticity and legality of the photo, preventing fraud issues. The process during registration is simple: the front desk guides you to the photo point, where the staff handles it quickly, and the digital version of the photo is directly stored in the system. I recommend wearing neat, dark-colored clothes on registration day, avoiding hats and accessories, and ensuring your hair doesn't cover your face. The cost is usually included, and while some places may accept photos you bring yourself, it's more convenient to take them on the spot. Remember, the photo session is quick, so don't be nervous—otherwise, a distracted gaze in the photo could affect the license production. After registration, there are theory and road tests, but don't overlook this step.
It is a common practice to take photos on the day of driver's license registration, which is for obtaining the ID photo to be used on the license. During registration, the staff will guide you on how to stand for a quick photo. After the photo is taken, you can proceed with other formalities. Please note that you should not wear white clothes to avoid blending with the background. The photo will be directly used for the license production to ensure standardization.
