Wrong background
Shadow on face
Shadow on background
Tinted or reflective glasses — Glasses with tinted lenses or heavy glare that hide your eyes will cause rejection
Wrong background — Background must be plain white or light-colored with no patterns, shadows, or objects
Facial expression issues — Overly wide smiles showing teeth or closed eyes will be rejected
Photo too old — Must be taken within the last 6 months showing your current appearance
Face not centered — Head must be centered in the frame looking straight at the camera
Poor lighting — Uneven lighting creating shadows on your face or background will cause rejection
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 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 photo do I need for a Kenya driving licence?
You need a passport-sized photo measuring 35x45mm (3.5x4.5cm). This is the standard size required by NTSA for all driving licence applications, renewals, and replacements.
Can I wear glasses in my Kenya driving licence photo?
Prescription glasses are allowed if your eyes are clearly visible with no glare or reflections on the lenses. Sunglasses and tinted lenses are not permitted. To avoid rejection, it is safer to remove glasses for the photo.
What background color is required?
A plain white or light-colored background is required. The background must be free of patterns, shadows, and objects.
What digital format do I need for the NTSA online application?
Upload your photo in JPEG format through the eCitizen NTSA portal. The file should be under 200KB. Ensure the image is clear and meets the 35x45mm size requirements.
How does the Kenya driving licence photo compare to a passport photo?
Kenya driving licence photos and passport photos share the same 35x45mm dimensions and white background requirement. Both follow ICAO standards. If you have a recent passport photo, it can typically be used for your driving licence application as well.
