Here are the relevant requirements for the ID photo on a driver's license: Requirement 1: The driver's license photo must be a one-inch color photo with a white background. Hair should not cover the ears or eyebrows, and no jewelry is allowed. Requirement 2: If you usually wear glasses, you must wear them in the photo (except for contact lenses), and you should wear non-white clothing. The following is a related introduction to the driver's license: Introduction 1: A motor vehicle driver's license is a legal document issued by the administrative department to individuals who are legally permitted to learn to drive a motor vehicle, have studied and mastered traffic regulations and driving skills, and have passed the relevant examinations. It grants permission to drive a certain type of motor vehicle. Introduction 2: Driving a motor vehicle requires certain driving skills. Without these skills, driving a motor vehicle recklessly may lead to traffic accidents. Generally, individuals without a license cannot drive on the road. However, for those who have acquired safe driving skills, the document that permits them to drive vehicles on the road is called a 'driver's license,' which indicates that it is a 'certificate of permission.'
I remember there are several strict requirements for the driver's license application photo. The photo size must be fixed at 3.3 cm wide × 2.2 cm high to ensure consistency. The background must be pure white without any other colors. I tried using the white wall at home, and it worked well. The person must stand straight facing forward without tilting the head, and no hats or headscarves are allowed. Glasses can be worn, but the lenses must not reflect light or cover the eyes. I made sure to adjust my glasses properly to meet this requirement. The expression should be serious—no smiling or showing teeth—to avoid affecting identification. It's recommended to wear dark-colored tops like black or blue; avoid light colors as they can make the photo blurry and hard to recognize. The photo must also be taken within the last six months; old photos may be blurry or show changes in facial features. Once, I took a photo at a roadside quick-photo shop, but it was rejected due to shadows. Later, I went to a professional photo studio and got it right the first time, saving a lot of hassle. In short, preparing in advance can save you time and avoid repeated attempts.
