Frequently Asked Questions

What size is a driving licence photo?

Most countries use 35×45mm for driving licence photos, matching the standard passport photo size. Check your country’s DVLA/DMV requirements for the exact size.

Is the driving licence photo the same as a passport photo?

In most countries, yes — the 35×45mm ICAO biometric standard is used for both.

Can I change the background colour?

Yes. Use the Remove BG feature and then select your preferred background colour (white, light grey, or custom).

Do US DMV offices take the photo, or do I bring my own?

US DMV offices almost always take the photo themselves. However, some states allow uploaded photos for online renewal. This tool prepares the correct crop and dimensions so you control framing before any official session.

Can I use this for a UK provisional licence application?

The DVLA takes the photo for UK driving licences at the driving test centre. This tool is mainly useful for countries where you bring your own photo, or for online renewal systems that accept digital uploads.
