What are the dimensions for an electronic driver's license photo?
4 Answers
Electronic driver's license photos should be 32mm × 22mm in size, with a head width of 14mm-16mm and a head length of 19mm-22mm. The electronic version of the driver's license offers great convenience to drivers, as it can replace the paper version. Specific requirements for electronic driver's license photos: The photo must be a straight-on, full-color, bareheaded, single-person half-length ID photo taken within 6 months prior to the applicant's application for a motor vehicle driver's license. The background should be white, with no uniform clothing. The portrait should be clear, with rich layers and a natural expression, free from obvious distortion. The photo dimensions must be 32mm*22mm, with a head width of 14mm-16mm and a head length of 19mm-22mm. Photos must be taken and uploaded strictly according to these requirements, avoiding excessive retouching. Authorities will suspend the use of electronic driver's licenses for those who maliciously upload or use non-compliant photos and will handle the matter according to relevant regulations. Legal validity of electronic driver's licenses: Electronic driver's licenses have the same legal validity as paper licenses. If stopped by traffic police for a license check, drivers in pilot cities can present their electronic driver's license. The electronic driver's license can serve as proof that the driver has a valid license, even if the physical license is not present. Traffic police may not penalize the driver for "not carrying a valid paper driver's license."
I recently discovered very specific photo requirements when applying for a digital driver's license. The standard is usually small 2-inch size, approximately 413×531 pixels. The photo must have a white background, be front-facing without headwear, with the head occupying over 70% of the photo area. No hats or reflective items are allowed. When uploading to the Traffic Management 12123 App, the file size should ideally be between 20KB to 200KB - files too large or small are likely to be rejected. Remember the photo must be clear and unretouched. I tried taking it with my phone several times without success, and eventually got it done at a photo studio to avoid hassle. Incorrect dimensions may lead to failed approval, requiring requeuing and affecting digital license usage during traffic checks. In short, paying attention to these details when preparing the photo is crucial.
The photo size for an electronic driver's license is typically the 35×48mm two-inch specification, with a resolution of approximately 400×500 pixels. However, the file must be uploaded in JPEG format—neither too small nor too large. A friend of mine had their application rejected last time because they submitted a casual photo with a non-white background or because the face was either too large or too small. It's recommended to take the photo directly using a mobile app or have it professionally processed to ensure compliance. Electronic driver's licenses are becoming increasingly popular, allowing you to handle checks even if you forget your physical license. Don't take the photo requirement lightly.
Regarding the photo size for an electronic driver's license, the standard is 413×531 pixels, a bareheaded photo against a white background, with the file size controlled between 20KB and 300KB. The key to successfully uploading it via the traffic management app in one go is to precisely set the dimensions. Avoid wearing glasses or having shadows, and ensure the head is centered and clearly displayed. The review process is usually quick, and you can use the electronic driver's license on the same day for convenient travel.
