FAQ

What background color does a China driver's license photo need?
White. New issues, renewals and replacements all require a white-background small 1-inch bareheaded color photo.
Can I take my own license photo?
Yes. In regions that don't require a studio receipt, a self-taken photo works as long as it meets the 22×32mm white-background spec — generate a 300-DPI print sheet here and submit the developed print.
Is the IDL translation photo the same as the domestic one?
International driving permit translations commonly use 260×378px (22×32mm) white photos, same as the domestic small 1-inch; some rental/translation agencies also accept 35×45mm or 51×51mm.
