  • Where do I get a photo for my Alabama driver's license taken?

If you are over age 18, you may schedule your road test whenever you are ready without having to meet the above requirements.
  • Do I need to put up hair when taking driver's license photo?

    You may wear your hair the same way you would normally wear it; however, it should not be covering your face or your eyes. The purpose of the photo is to be able to identify who you really are. Besides, you would not want to hide that amazing face!

    Look straight into the camera and keep a calm and relaxed face!
