Driver's license photo requirements
Driver's license photos typically follow passport-style rules: front-facing, neutral expression, plain background, eyes open, and no glasses glare. Dimensions vary by state and country — US states commonly use 2×2 inches or similar square formats. Some DMVs now accept online renewal with uploaded digital photos. Check your state's DMV website for exact specifications before submitting.
Make a driver's license photo at home
Stand against a plain white or light-colored wall in even lighting. Upload to our Passport Photo Maker, select the appropriate size preset, and download. Print at a photo shop if your DMV requires a physical photo, or upload digitally for online renewal portals. Remove busy backgrounds first with our Background Remover if needed.
