Is the photo for the driving school taken by oneself or at the examination site?
2 Answers
It can be taken at the driving school or at the examination site. Here is more information about driver's license photos: 1. Size: The background color is mostly red, blue, or white, and the size is usually one inch or two inches. A one-inch photo refers to a photo of one-inch size, generally used as an ID photo. 2. Requirements for driver's license photos: It must be a recent, hatless, color front photo with a white background, without wearing white clothes or uniforms. The photo does not require an ID number, the specification is one inch, and those who correct their vision must wear glasses. The head part should occupy about two-thirds of the photo length, and the photo must be clear and recognizable.
As a student who just got my driver's license, I still remember having to take the photo myself beforehand. When I registered at the driving school, they asked me to go to a designated photo studio to take a formal ID photo with requirements like white background, front-facing with ears visible, and no wide smiles. After uploading the photo, it was archived in the driving school's system for future use. On the exam day, the staff at the test center only checked my ID card against the photo in the system. The whole process went smoothly, so I advise newcomers not to procrastinate—get the photo taken early to avoid last-minute issues, as ID photo verification is crucial. For the theory test (Subject 1), there's also an on-site facial recognition to confirm identity. If the photo doesn't meet standards, you might have to retake it, which can waste time. A friend of mine had this happen—their photo was too dark and got rejected, forcing an extra trip. Looking back now, besides mastering driving skills, these small details are also key to ensuring a smooth exam process.
