Nursing candidates: get your NCLEX Pearson VUE registration photo right.
NCLEX 2026 photo specifications
Most State Nursing Boards and Pearson VUE require a standard 2x2 inch passport-style photograph with a plain white background. The file size should typically remain under 200 KB.
Does the NCLEX photo need to be the same as my ID?
It does not need to be the exact same photo, but it must be a clear, recent representation of what you look like to match with your physical ID on test day.
