Do you need to make a photo?
Do not prepare a separate photo unless the state agency or your transaction instructions specifically ask for one. The agency procedure below describes where a photo is captured and what is known about remote renewal.
This page covers a driver license. It does not automatically apply to learner permits, state identification cards, commercial endorsements, or every exception.
Photo law and requirements
A photo-specific legal rule has not yet been summarized for this state on this page. Use the official issuer source and confirm the requirements for your exact transaction.
Where the photo is taken
BMV says driver-license renewals require an appointment and surrender of the current license. BMV's current application forms say renewals require an updated photograph.
Online renewal, photo reuse, and upload
The myBMV portal accepts eligible renewal requests, document uploads, and fees, and the license is then scheduled for process completion or pickup. The BMV sources reviewed say renewals need an updated photograph but do not say whether it is taken at the BMV or uploaded; they do not describe a photo upload.
New photo upload: Only treat upload as allowed when the linked official instructions explicitly say so.
