Frequently Asked Questions
What size photo do I need for an Icelandic driving licence?
The required photo size is 35×45mm (3.5×4.5cm), which is the standard European biometric passport photo format. The photo must be printed on photo paper.
Can I wear glasses in my Icelandic driving licence photo?
No. Glasses must be removed unless you have a signed doctor's statement confirming you cannot remove them for medical reasons. Reflections and frames obscuring facial features are common rejection reasons.
What background colour is required?
The background must be plain white or light-coloured (such as light grey), with no shadows, patterns, or objects behind you.
Can I use the same photo for my Icelandic passport and driving licence?
Yes, both documents require the same 35×45mm biometric photo format with the same specifications. However, district commissioners cannot use a photo from the passport system — you must bring a separate printed photo.
Where do I submit my driving licence photo in Iceland?
You must visit a district commissioner's office (sýslumaður) in person with your 35×45mm passport photo printed on photo paper. District commissioners do not take photos on-site.
