What is the size of the driver's license photo?
2 Answers
The size of the driver's license photo is 1 inch, 3.2cm × 2.2cm. Photo specifications: The background of the photo should be white. Neither men nor women are allowed to wear earrings, but those who need vision correction must wear glasses. Women should not have their hair loose, and men should not have excessively long hair. Red clothing and uniforms are not allowed. The expression should be natural, with all facial features visible, and a slight smile is acceptable. Shooting locations and precautions: Photos can be taken at the vehicle management office or at a licensed photo studio outside. If taking photos at an external studio, simply inform the studio of the purpose, and they will follow the required specifications.
I just got my driver's license not long ago, and I remember the photo was a small size, specifically the small one-inch specification of 32mm wide and 22mm high. Just tell the photographer at the photo studio that it's for a driver's license, and they're very familiar with it. I made a mistake by using a blue background and had to retake the photo, which delayed me by a day. The standard requires a white background, forehead exposed, no hat, and a natural expression—not too serious but also not grinning. The photo must be from the last six months, otherwise, the DMV might have issues during the review. Going to a reliable photo studio saves trouble; as long as the size is correct, there won't be any problems. Don't try to save money by taking a selfie, as size deviations might get it rejected.
