Shadow on face
Shadow on background
Wrong face size — Face height must be 29-34mm. Photos with faces too small or too large are rejected
Non-neutral background — Background must be plain white or light grey with no patterns, shadows, or textures
Glasses causing glare — Prescription glasses must not reflect light or cover the eyes. Remove glasses or adjust lighting
Incorrect expression — Neutral expression required. Smiling, frowning, or open mouth will cause rejection
Face not centered — Face must be positioned centrally in the frame looking directly at the camera
Photo too old — Must be taken within the last 12 months to reflect your current appearance
Printing Your Photo
For mail-in applications, print your photo on 4×6 photo paper at any drugstore. Our download includes a print-ready template with multiple photos — you only need 2 for most applications.
Use glossy or matte photo paper, not regular printer paper. When printing, select "actual size" or "no scaling" to ensure the photos are exactly 35 × 45 mm (1.4" × 1.8").

Frequently Asked Questions
What size is a Swiss driving licence photo?

Can I wear glasses in my Swiss driving licence photo?
Yes, prescription glasses are allowed if you wear them daily. However, they must not cover your eyes, cause reflections, or have tinted lenses. Sunglasses are not permitted.
What background colour is required?
A plain white or neutral light grey background is required. The background must be solid-colored, uniform, and free of shadows or patterns.
How does the Swiss photo size compare to other countries?
The Swiss 35x45mm format is the same as most European countries (Germany, France, Italy) and follows ICAO biometric standards. US passport photos are larger at 2x2 inches (51x51mm).
How recent must my driving licence photo be?
Your photo must be taken within the last 12 months. This ensures the photo accurately represents your current appearance.
Can I submit my photo digitally?
Digital submission is possible for licence renewals and some transactions. However, for first-time applications or foreign licence exchanges, you must submit physical photos because identity verification is required first.
