How to Change Driver's License Photo Online?
3 Answers
According to relevant regulations, altering, forging, or using altered or forged driver's licenses will result in confiscation of the license, an immediate deduction of 12 points, and additional penalties. There is no dedicated channel for changing the photo on a driver's license. The only way to replace the photo is to apply for a replacement license due to loss or damage.
As someone who frequently helps friends with driver's license issues, I find the online photo replacement quite convenient, mainly using the Traffic Management 12123 App. First, download the app, register an account, and log in, ensuring a stable internet connection. On the main interface, click the 'Driver's License Services' option, where you'll find the 'Photo Replacement' service. After selecting this option, upload a new headshot as required—it must be a white-background, front-facing, bareheaded ID photo with appropriate dimensions. Once uploaded, submit it for review; the system will check the photo's compliance, usually notifying you of the result within one or two working days. If approved, the new license will be mailed to your home. Be careful not to over-edit the photo to avoid rejection, and you can check the official requirements in advance. The entire process can be completed at home, saving you the hassle of visiting the DMV, making it ideal for those with tight schedules.
I'm a smartphone enthusiast, and renewing my driver's license photo online is super fast—it can be done directly through the official app. I use the Traffic Management 12123 App. After logging in, I enter the driver's license service section, find the photo replacement option, and upload a compliant digital photo—it must be a front-facing shot with a white background and no hats. After submission, the system automatically reviews it, and the results come out in a few days, with the new license mailed to me. The whole process takes less than ten minutes, but make sure your internet connection is stable and the photo is clear to avoid redoing it. It's also a good idea to regularly check your driver's license information. Similar features allow you to update other ID photos, making everything very convenient.
