What is a "Photo Holder"?

[tanker1983]

Seriously. I have no idea what one is or what one looks like or where to find one....

Thanks for any help...

I assume you are referencing a photo holder in relation to your CHL application;

It is what the passport photos attach to. For a while, DPS just had the applicant put the photos in an envelope. An instructor shoule be able to get you one.

Ok, I'll play your game...what IS a Photo Holder?

Is this like what my grandmother used to call a "picture frame"...?

Make sure you sign the bottom line on it...I didn't.

TI :: Well as far as I know , we are back to using envelopes again. Instructions in the last packets had it that way. I just got a new box of packets but have not looked to see if we are back to holders.

Tanker: Don't sweat it, if you don't have a holder just put the photos in an envelope. Make sure your photos are signed by you and the person taking your prints. Write your name and DL number on the outside of the envelope and Write"Photos Enclosed" on it also. It will be fine, like Adionik mentioned be sure to fill out the Passport photo sheet and put your signature in the yellow box at the bottom of the page. DO NOT GO OUTSIDE THE LINES OF THE BOX.

There is a Photo Holder PDF file on the DPS website that you can print out.

Yes, and on that "holder" it tells you to put your photos in an envelope. Some holder huh?

Just found this forum

Became instructor this summer and they changed the photo signature requirement.

Photos do not have to be signed anymore.
