Frequently asked questions
What are the photo requirements for a California ID?
The California DMV requires clear, color photos where your face is fully visible. There shouldn't be anything obstructing your face (like sunglasses) and it needs to be well lit. While digital dimensions can vary by service, a standard high-resolution portrait format like 600x800 is ideal.
Can I use my phone to take a CA DMV photo?
Yes! Just ensure you stand against a plain, light-colored background, have good lighting, and have someone else take the photo for the best angle.
Does this tool upload my photo?
No. All photo processing happens entirely in your web browser. We do not store or upload your images to any servers.
