Use glossy or matte photo paper, not regular printer paper. When printing, select "actual size" or "no scaling" to ensure the photos are exactly 2" × 2" (51 × 51 mm).

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I wear glasses in my driver's license photo?
It depends on your state. Some states allow prescription glasses, while others (like many REAL ID states) do not. Check with your local DMV.
Can I smile in my driver's license photo?
Most states now require a neutral expression or a natural smile (no teeth showing). This is for facial recognition compatibility.
What if my state uses a different photo size?
While requirements vary by state, the 2x2 inch format works for most DMVs. Your photo will be cropped to fit their specific requirements.
Do I need a physical photo or can I submit digitally?
Most DMVs take your photo at the office. However, some states allow you to upload a digital photo in advance. Check your state DMV website.
