Is the driver's license photo a one-inch white background photo?
2 Answers
The background color of the driver's license photo should be white, with the following specific requirements: Applicants must provide a straight-edged, front-facing, bareheaded color ID photo of themselves taken within the last 6 months before applying for a motor vehicle driver's license. The background must be white; red clothing is not allowed (as it affects stamping), women cannot wear earrings, photos with shawls or draped hair are not permitted, men's hair should not be too long, the headshot must be clear, and the expression should be natural. The 2021 driving test regulations are as follows: 1. Exam subject adjustments: For small automatic transmission vehicles, the "slope parking and starting" item in Subject 2 has been canceled, reducing the test content from 5 items to 4. This change aligns with actual driving requirements and reduces the test burden on candidates. 2. Exam scheduling adjustments: For obtaining a small automatic transmission vehicle driver's license, the interval between Subject 1 passing and scheduling Subject 3 has been shortened from 30 days to 20 days; for those upgrading to large and medium-sized passenger or truck licenses, the interval has been shortened from 40 days to 30 days. 3. Adjustment for cross-regional subject exam attempts: Applicants for small car driver's licenses can now request to change their exam location up to 3 times (previously only once), meeting the demand for cross-regional testing.
I remember when I went to get my driver's license last year, the photo had strict requirements: a white background with a one-inch specification, approximately 25mm×35mm in size. The background had to be pure white without any shadows to ensure accurate computer recognition. I went to a photo studio and paid 15 yuan for it, which was totally worth it. The lighting was evenly adjusted, with my head occupying more than two-thirds of the photo. If you take it yourself, you'd need to use a mobile app to process the background to pure white, but it's easy to make mistakes. Don’t wear dark-colored hats when taking the photo, and maintain a natural expression while looking directly at the camera. I also heard that someone got rejected because their background had a slight gray tint, wasting their time. Applying for a driver's license is already troublesome, so paying attention to these small details can save a lot of hassle. Don’t try to save money or cut corners and end up messing it up.
