crufflesmuth Posted April 19, 2017 at 07:32 PM Share Posted April 19, 2017 at 07:32 PM Is there a good example I can see for reference? They say to do shoulders, normal focus with open eyes and closed lips, does this mean they want it 'mugshot' style? (no smile) or can we smile? Please excuse me if this sounds stupid, I just want to ensure I submit my application correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craigcelia Posted April 19, 2017 at 07:34 PM Share Posted April 19, 2017 at 07:34 PM Against a white (or light) color background in the last 30 days, do not smile. Someone will point out the specifics/exact rules..it's somewhere around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soylentgreen Posted April 19, 2017 at 07:40 PM Share Posted April 19, 2017 at 07:40 PM The photo is really only to confirm your identity since your CCL will have the same photos as your driver's license. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

howie Posted April 20, 2017 at 12:10 AM Share Posted April 20, 2017 at 12:10 AM Every app I've assisted students with has been filed with a cell phone photo cropped to the right size. I've done dozens and have yet to hear of one being rejected. Light colored background, no hats, eyes open, mouth closed. A couple of them actually smiled.....no issues.

With a birthday coming up and my driver's license expiring, I had to take a vision test and will be issued a new license with a new picture. Do I have to do anything regarding my CCL?

Glock23 Posted August 8, 2017 at 04:24 PM Share Posted August 8, 2017 at 04:24 PM Nope. As long as the address on your DL isn't changing, you're good to go. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
