Driving Licence Photo Update: Here's How to Replace an Old or Unclear Photo

Driving Licence Photo Update: If the photo on your driving licence has become outdated, unclear or no longer resembles your current appearance, you may be able to get it updated through the Parivahan system. The exact process, however, can vary from one state to another.

A clear and current photograph on a driving licence is useful because the document is not only proof that you are authorised to drive but is also commonly used for identity verification. If the photograph is too old or difficult to identify, it may create inconvenience during traffic checks or other verification processes.

Can You Change the Driving Licence Photo Online?

In some states, certain driving licence services can be initiated online through the official Parivahan portal.

The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways provides driving licence-related services through the Sarathi platform. Users generally need to select their state first because the services available online can differ depending on the State Transport Department.

This means there is no guarantee that every applicant in every state will be able to complete the entire photo-change process online.

How to Check the Photo Update Option

To begin, visit the official Parivahan Sewa portal and open the section for driving licence-related services.

From there, select your state and look for Services on Driving Licence
