School Bus Photo Requirements

Prepare your photos to submit with your application.

All photos must be:

If you are applying for multiple vehicles in a single application, make sure photos correspond to the correct vehicle.

List of required photos:

  • Exterior: Front, rear, and both sides of the school bus. The photo must allow us to see the entire bus (i.e., don’t cut off the top or bottom).
  • Engine: The photo must show entire engine.
  • Engine plate and stickers
    • The following information must be included:
      • engine make
      • engine model
      • engine year
      • engine serial number
      • engine family code
    • More than one photo may be necessary to capture all the required information.
    • Provide a clear, color photo of the engine plate or sticker or metal stamp that displays all engine data. Ensure all parts of the plate or stickers are easy to see and read.
