What is the size of the driver's license photo?
2 Answers
Driver's license photo size: The photo size is 3.2 cm by 2.2 cm, with a head length of 1.9 cm to 2.2 cm and a head width of 1.4 cm to 1.6 cm, on a white background. The photo must be a recent (within 6 months) front-facing, bareheaded, color, single-person half-length small one-inch photo of the driver's license applicant. Below are the uses of the photo and the number of copies to be submitted: 1. Uses of the photo: The photo is used for the application form, exam forms, various archival forms, and finally the photo on the driver's license. 2. Number of copies to be submitted: The number varies by region, typically ranging from 7 to 20 copies. Please check the local requirements. Generally, when taking photos at a photo studio, they will print the specified number of copies.
I just renewed my driver's license a few days ago, and I remember the photo size requirements clearly. You need a 32mm×22mm one-inch photo, with the head occupying about two-thirds of the height from the top to the chin. Don't try using casual photos—my friend's application got rejected because the DMV requires a front-facing, hat-free photo with ears and eyebrows visible. The background must be pure white. I was wearing light-colored clothes and had to change into a dark jacket because they said it makes the outline clearer. I recommend going to a photo studio near the DMV—they can even adjust the digital parameters for you.
