How many photos are required for driving school?
2 Answers
The number of photos required varies by region, typically ranging from 7 to 20. Please check with your local driving school for specific requirements. Generally, photo studios will print the exact number of photos you need. These photos are used for various forms, including the application form, exam forms, archives, and the final driver's license photo. Below are the photo requirements: 1. One-inch color photo with a white background. 2. Hair should not cover the ears or eyebrows, and no accessories are allowed. 3. If you usually wear glasses, you should wear them in the photo (except for contact lenses). 4. Wear non-white clothing.
Before enrolling in a driving school, I specifically went to a photo studio to take ID photos. The staff said that usually two to three one-inch photos are required, with a white background, bareheaded and without accessories, clearly showing facial expressions. I brought three with me—one was pasted on the application form during enrollment, another was used for the medical examination form, and the photo was also checked for identity verification during the subject exams. It’s always better to prepare a few extra in case of lost files or additional document needs. The photo requirements are quite strict: the size must be standard, and the background must be pure white without any discoloration, otherwise they may be rejected, requiring a retake. I learned this the hard way during my first enrollment—I brought two photos, but one didn’t meet the standards, forcing me to make two trips. It’s advisable to contact the driving school to confirm the exact number needed, as requirements vary by location. After taking the photos, store them in an envelope for easy access whenever needed. This ensures a smoother process without hiccups in the paperwork.
