What are the size specifications for the driver's license photo?
2 Answers
The size of the motor vehicle driver's license photo is 88mm in length, 60mm in width, with a corner radius of 3mm. The functions of the vehicle driver's license: 1. Vehicle registration certificate: Motor vehicles can only be driven on the road after being registered by the traffic management department of the public security organ. 2. Proof of ownership: The "Owner's Name" column on the "Motor Vehicle Driver's License" is not just a matter of name; the owner registered on the driver's license is the legally recognized owner of the vehicle, with the right to legally use and dispose of the property. In the event of traffic accidents or economic disputes, they are also the legally responsible party. 3. Insurance claim certificate: For insured motor vehicles, if a traffic accident within the scope of insurance liability occurs, the policyholder must hold the "Motor Vehicle Driver's License" and it must be valid (i.e., having undergone annual inspection on time) for the insurance company to possibly settle the claim.
Last year when I updated my vehicle license, I specifically asked the staff about the photo requirements. The standard size is 88mm × 60mm, and it must clearly show the entire vehicle's appearance, including both the front and rear. They emphasized that the background should be simple, preferably white or light-colored, with no clutter on the vehicle, and the license plate must be fully visible. I recommend going to a designated DMV photo point or a car wash shop for professional photo services. I personally used a mobile app to adjust the size, and it passed on the first try. If the size doesn’t meet the requirements, you might be asked to retake the photo, which can delay the whole process. Don’t try to save money by using a blurry photo—if the size deviation is caught, it could delay your vehicle inspection. The cost isn’t high, but it’s quite a hassle. Measuring the size in advance can save you a lot of trouble.
