Is a one-inch photo required for Subject 4?

No photo is required for the motor vehicle Subject 4 exam. Below are the precautions for the Subject 4 exam: 1. Verify information: After sitting down, first verify the examinee information. If it doesn't match your details, check if it's your assigned seat. If not, locate your correct seat. If the seat is correct but the information is wrong, report it immediately. 2. Maintain exam room discipline: Observe exam room rules during the Subject 4 test. Loud noise during waiting time will result in immediate expulsion and cancellation of that day's exam eligibility. 3. Follow instructions: Comply with staff arrangements. Raise your hand for assistance and ask the examiner if you don't understand anything - don't be afraid. 4. Adjust camera position: Adjust the camera to focus on the upper third of your face and chest area. If your face doesn't appear in the monitoring range, your score will be invalidated.
When I took the Subject 4 exam back then, I specifically went to a photo studio to take new 1-inch photos. The DMV requirements were quite detailed—it had to be a white-background, bareheaded color photo with clear visibility of eyebrows and ears. Remember not to wear jewelry, and dark-colored clothes work best, as light colors can blend into the background. Nowadays, some test centers have self-service photo booths, but the queues are long and expensive, so it's better to prepare in advance. Write your name and ID number on the back of the photo with a ballpoint pen and hand it to the staff at the test site. The safest approach is to ask your driving school instructor directly, as implementation details may vary by region.
