Questions
- Is the United Kingdom Driving licence, full or provisional (online, DVLA) photo checker free?
- Yes. Checking is free, with no sign-up, and your photo is checked on your device. It is never uploaded.
- What does the United Kingdom Driving licence, full or provisional (online, DVLA) photo checker look at?
- The file (format, pixel size, file size), then the face: head size and position, eyes open, expression, head tilt and turn, light, shadows, glare, blur, glasses, hair over the face, head covering and the background colour.
- What if my photo fails?
- Each failed check says why. Size, crop and background can be fixed in the editor; eyes, expression, light and blur need a new photo, which Picproved helps you take with live camera checks.
- Does passing the check mean my photo will be accepted?
- It means the photo meets the published rules Picproved checks. The office or portal makes the final decision, so no checker can promise acceptance.
