Wrong photo size — Must be exactly 24×30mm (2.4×3cm), smaller than passport photos
Inappropriate background — Background must be solid single color without patterns; avoid extreme colors like red or black
Eyes obscured — Hair covering eyes or face not centered properly will cause rejection
Colored contact lenses — Lenses that change pupil size or eye color are not allowed
Photo too old — Must be taken within the last 6 months before application
Poor print quality — Home inkjet prints not accepted; must use photo paper with professional quality
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 24 × 30 mm (0.9" × 1.2").
| Paper size | 4×6 inches |
| Paper type | Glossy or matte photo paper |
| Print quality | 300 DPI minimum |
Frequently Asked Questions
What size is a Japan driver's license photo?

What background color should I use for a Japanese driver's license photo?
Light blue (水色) is the standard color used at licensing centers. White, gray, pink, and orange are also accepted if you bring your own photo. Avoid extreme colors like red or black.
Can I wear glasses in my Japan driver's license photo?
Yes, regular prescription glasses are allowed. However, sunglasses, tinted lenses, and reflective glasses that obscure your eyes are not permitted.
Can I bring my own photo to the driver's license center?
