Where the photo is taken
Alaska requires an in-person DMV office visit to get an instruction permit. The Alaska driver manual says your picture is taken after all requirements for a license or permit are completed.
Online steps and photo upload
You can take the instruction-permit knowledge test online and make an office appointment online, but the permit is issued at a DMV office. The reviewed pages offer no way to upload your own photo.
