What background color is required for driver's license photos?

Driver's license photos require a white background, which should be a recent, straight-edged, front-facing, bareheaded, color photo of the applicant's upper body taken with digital photography. Below is some relevant information about driver's licenses: 1. A motor vehicle driver's license is a legal document issued by the administrative authorities to individuals who have legally been permitted to learn to drive, have mastered traffic regulations and driving skills through study, and have passed the required examinations. It permits the holder to drive specific types of motor vehicles. 2. The examination subjects include traffic regulations and related knowledge, field driving, and road driving (including safe and civilized driving).
When I first got my driver's license, I specifically asked the DMV - the license photo must have a pure white background, sized 32mm×22mm, with full head and shoulders visible. Don't wear white clothes, or you'll look like a headless rider. Remember to go to a professional photo studio and specify it's for driver's license - they'll adjust the lighting properly. Last time when I accompanied my brother for his photo, he wore a light gray T-shirt and the staff immediately gave him a dark jacket to wear, saying facial recognition would be clearer. Also, no jewelry or thick-framed glasses, hair shouldn't cover eyebrows, and showing ears is a basic requirement - if you don't pay attention to these details, you might have to retake the photo.
