Does the driver's license photo need to include the ID number?
1 Answers
Driver's license photos do not need to include the ID number. Article 7 stipulates that a motor vehicle driver's license records and endorses the following information: motor vehicle driver information - name, gender, date of birth, nationality, address, identification number (motor vehicle driver's license number), and photo. The vehicle management office endorses the following: initial license issuance date, permitted vehicle type code, validity start date, validity period, issuing authority seal, and file number. Photo requirements: Applicants must provide a straight-edged, front-facing, bareheaded color ID photo (half-body portrait) taken within the last 6 months before applying for a motor vehicle driver's license. The background must be white, and applicants cannot wear red clothing (as it may affect stamping). Women cannot wear earrings or have photos taken with hair covering the shoulders. Men's hair should not be too long. The facial image must be clear, with rich layers and a natural expression. Photo dimensions: 32mm × 22mm, head width 14mm–16mm, head length 19mm–22mm. Driving skills: Operating a motor vehicle requires certain driving skills. Those lacking such skills may cause traffic accidents if they drive recklessly. Generally, people cannot drive on roads without a license. However, for those who have acquired safe driving techniques, the document permitting them to drive vehicles on roads is called a "driver's license." This indicates that a driver's license serves as a "certificate of permission."
