What is a Driver's License Photo Receipt?
2 Answers
Driver's license photo receipt, also known as photo receipt, is a photo certificate issued by a photo studio (this certificate includes the photo taken and a computer barcode linked to the public security department). To take photos for social security purposes, you need to go to a qualified photo studio. The photo studio must upload the photo to the public security department's website to obtain a number, which is the computer barcode, and then print the receipt for you. More information about photo receipts is as follows: 1. Significance: The photo receipt indicates that the photo has been verified and passed on the national designated verification website; at the same time, the photo is also stored in the database of this website. When applying for a document, your photo will be extracted from this database using the image number on the receipt. 2. How to Obtain: To obtain a digital photo receipt, you no longer need to go through traditional offline photo studios. Now, you can simply open Alipay or WeChat and use your mobile phone to conveniently obtain the desired ID photo + photo receipt online.
Ah, speaking of the driver's license photo receipt, I've actually been through this. Last time when renewing my license at the vehicle management office, the staff specifically emphasized the need for this piece of paper. Simply put, it's the proof given by the photo studio, confirming that the photo you submitted meets the public security system's review standards. The receipt has a barcode and serial number, which the vehicle management office can scan to retrieve your electronic photo. Don't underestimate this piece of paper—without it, you'd have to queue up again for a new photo on the spot. My advice is to check with the photo studio beforehand to see if they have the online certification qualification; otherwise, it's a wasted trip. The photo requirements are quite strict: no jewelry, hair must not cover the eyebrows, dark-colored clothing is required, and even the degree of smile is regulated. After taking the photo, you still have to wait for manual review in the background, and it usually takes about half an hour to get the receipt.
