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 an Irish driving licence photo?
35×45mm (minimum) to 38×50mm (maximum). This is the standard European biometric format, the same as Irish passport photos.
Can I wear glasses in my Irish driving licence photo?
No. You must remove glasses for Irish driving licence photos, even if you normally wear prescription glasses. This is an NDLS requirement.
Is the Irish driving licence photo the same as passport photo?
Yes, Irish driving licence photos use the same 35×45mm biometric format and requirements as Irish passport photos. The same photo can be used for both documents.
Can I apply for my Irish driving licence online?
Yes, if you have a Public Services Card (PSC) with a photo less than 10 years old. The PSC photo will be used on your licence. Otherwise, visit an NDLS centre where they capture your photo.
