What size photo is required for driver's license renewal?

For the 6-year renewal, a new photo is required. A recent one-inch, white-background, color, bareheaded photo must be used for driver's license renewal. If the photo is not qualified, a new qualified photo must be taken. The initial driver's license is valid for six years. After the motor vehicle driver's license is renewed, the original license becomes invalid and cannot be used again. It is necessary to properly keep the driver's information on the motor vehicle driver's license and not discard it casually, otherwise, information leakage may cause problems in the use of the motor vehicle driver's license. Renewal of the motor vehicle driver's license can be done through the mobile app Traffic Management 12123, or through the vehicle management department of the traffic management authorities or public security organs, effectively renewing the motor vehicle driver's license.
I just renewed my driver's license the other day, and the photo requirement is a small one-inch size, approximately 32mm wide and 22mm high. Don't just use any old photo; it must be a recent, bareheaded photo taken within the last six months, with a pure white background, clear front-facing view, no glasses, and no smiling. Just tell the photo studio it's for a driver's license, and they'll handle the sizing. Remember to bring two or three spare copies—the DMV checks very strictly, and if the size doesn't match, they'll reject it on the spot, wasting time and requiring extra trips. A friend of mine learned this the hard way when they printed photos at home without adjusting the size properly, rendering them all unusable. It's best to get the photos taken in advance before renewing to avoid hassle.
