What is the size of the vehicle license photo?
2 Answers
The size of the motor vehicle license photo is 88mm in length, 60mm in width, with a corner radius of 3mm. Additional information is as follows: 1. Introduction: The motor vehicle license is the legal document that permits a motor vehicle to drive on roads within China. The license consists of three parts: the license holder, the main page, and the supplementary page. The front of the main page contains the signed certificate core, while the back features the vehicle photo, which is sealed with a plastic cover. The supplementary page is the signed certificate core. 2. Verification: The license verification system can check and compare the authenticity of the motor vehicle, query vehicle information, and provide safety assurance for the owner. By simply entering the basic information of the motor vehicle into the system, one can verify whether the vehicle is genuine. If the information matches, other details of the vehicle can also be checked.
I've been driving for over a decade and remember the photo size requirements for vehicle registration certificates clearly. The standard is a 35mm wide by 45mm high white-background bareheaded color photo. The background must be pure white, and 'bareheaded' means showing the forehead and ears without wearing a hat. Why these rules? The small size makes it easier for the DMV to archive and manage. When taking the photo, the face should be squarely facing the camera without tilting, with even lighting and no glare. Last time I helped a neighbor with this, his photo background was too cluttered, and when he cropped it to 36×46mm—just a few millimeters larger—the DMV rejected it outright for non-compliance, costing him half a day wasted on extra trips and lost work time. Using a mobile app to crop or a professional studio template is safer, ensuring precise dimensions and smoother applications. Also, the photo should be recent, ideally within six months, as older photos might cause recognition issues and unnecessary trouble.
