Renewing a driver's license does not require a receipt. The following are the conditions for obtaining a driver's license: 1. Height: The height must meet the requirements for the vehicle type. 2. Vision: The vision must not be colorblind. 3. Hearing: Normal hearing. 4. Limbs: The limbs, torso, and upper limbs must be sound, with both thumbs intact, and at least three fingers intact on each hand. 5. Motor function: Normal motor function in the upper and lower limbs. Below is additional information for registering for a driver's license: 1. Photos: Seven one-inch color photos with a white background. 2. Registration fee: Payment can be made in cash, by card, or by transfer. 3. Copy of ID card: A copy of the ID card is required, with both sides copied onto a single sheet of paper. 4. Copy of household register: For non-local residents, a residence permit is also required.
Of course you need the receipt for renewing your driver's license. I just helped my younger brother with this. The photo receipt means you must first take a white-background license photo at a designated photo studio, which will provide a barcode receipt. The DMV scans this code to retrieve your photo. Some cities also allow uploading photos directly through the 12123 Traffic Management App to generate an electronic receipt. But don't even think about using a casual selfie - the system won't accept it. I suggest calling ahead to confirm local requirements to avoid multiple trips. By the way, some places now combine medical checkups and photo services for one-stop convenience, which saves a lot of time.
I just renewed my driver's license last month and made a special trip to the photo studio to get the receipt. This thing is like an ID for your photo, proving that you've submitted compliant ID photos. Remember to wear dark-colored clothes for the photo, no jewelry, and both ears and eyebrows must be visible. The receipt is usually valid for one month, so don't get it too early. Some cities now offer online renewal, but uploading photos online still requires manual approval before it counts. By the way, before renewing, go to a designated hospital for a driver's license medical exam and get the report—both are essential. The nationwide processing policy is quite convenient now, allowing you to use local receipts for out-of-town renewals.
