To obtain a C1 driver's license, you need eight one-inch bareheaded white-background color photos and one copy of your identity proof. Physical examination requirements for C1: Motor vehicle drivers aged 70 and above (including 70 years old) must undergo an annual physical examination, while those under 70 do not need to. Age requirements for C1 application: The minimum age limit for a C1 driver's license is 18 years old, with no upper age limit. However, applicants aged 70 and above must pass tests on memory, judgment, and reaction abilities. What is a C1 driver's license: The C1 driver's license is one of the codes for motor vehicle driver's licenses.

Applying for a C1 driver's license requires three one-inch photos. I remember clearly because when I accompanied my friend to apply last time, the vehicle management office specifically requested three standard ID photos. The specifications are one-inch size, approximately 25mm x 35mm, with a pure white background, no hats or sunglasses allowed, and the face should occupy most of the photo. Why three photos? One is for pasting on the application form, one for the medical examination report, and another for making the driver's license card. It's best to wear dark-colored clothes and go to a professional photo studio for clearer photos—don't try to save money by taking casual shots. Other required materials include the original ID card and a photocopy, as well as a stamped medical examination form. It's advisable to prepare a few extra photos in case any are rejected and need retaking. The whole process is smooth, but there are usually long queues, so going early saves time.
I just got my C1 driver's license not long ago. When applying at the vehicle management office, I indeed needed to prepare three one-inch photos. Those photos were all white-background, front-facing, and bareheaded, with very strict size specifications. I just took three photos at a street-side photo studio, which cost me twenty yuan. Besides the photos, I also brought my original ID card and filled out the form at the counter before submitting it directly. One photo was pasted on the header of the driver's license application form, one was used to make the final driver's license card, and the other might be kept for archiving. It's best to check the local vehicle management office's website before applying, as some places now use electronic photos, but having paper copies as a backup is a good idea. The whole experience wasn't difficult, but having all the materials ready was key. Don't forget the health check.
I accompanied my child throughout the application for a C1 driver's license. The vehicle management office required three one-inch photos. The specifications were standard white-background ID photos, with the front-facing head occupying over 75% of the frame. We chose an old photo studio to get it done in one go, ensuring clarity and compliance. The fixed number of three photos is mainly for different documents: one for the driver's license application form, one for the card production, and one for the archives. The application also requires an ID card and a medical examination report. Photo quality can affect the process, so it's advisable to check in advance that the background is clean and flawless. Avoid using old photos as they can easily cause issues.
