This United States page is for a driving-licence / photocard headshot — United States Driving licence — not a passport renewal essay.
This article is scoped to United States Driving licence as a United States driving-licence / DMV-style photo (2 × 2 in, White). Passport, green-card and visa essays stay on their own URLs.
For most United States driving licence photos the canonical print is a square 2 × 2 inch frame on a plain white background. Eyes open, mouth closed, and no typical eyeglass glare are recurring rejection themes. This page locks United States Driving licence to 2 × 2 in / White.
Use even indoor light, face the camera straight on, skip filters. FotoPass exports 2 × 2 in with a White field tuned for United States road-authority / DMV-style intake.
Never paste a travel-document JPEG into a licence application by default. Glasses, recency and backdrop rules often diverge — start again with United States Driving licence selected.
