Printing Your Photo

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?

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.
