How to Change the Photo on a Driving License?
2 Answers
First, prepare two 1-inch photos and a medical examination certificate. One photo should be pasted in the upper right corner of the medical examination form, and the other should be kept for the new license. Bring your ID card and driving license to the license office, fill out the license renewal application form, complete the process, pay the fee, and wait a while to receive your new driving license.
I just went through this process last week, and it's actually quite straightforward. Bring your ID card and the original vehicle license, drive to the DMV to queue up for photos – make sure the car body is clean and unmodified. The staff will take photos on-site, then you fill out a Motor Vehicle Change Registration Application Form and pay a 10-yuan processing fee. Usually, you can get the new license in about half an hour, but efficiency varies by location, so it's best to avoid the beginning or end of the month. By the way, if you're authorizing someone else to handle it, the agent must also bring their ID card and your letter of authorization. The photos must have been taken within the last six months – last time my friend brought old photos and got rejected.
