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 photo is needed for a Sri Lanka driving licence?
The required size is 35x45mm (3.5x4.5cm), which is the standard passport photo size used in Sri Lanka. This is equivalent to approximately 1.38x1.77 inches.
Can I wear glasses in my Sri Lanka driving licence photo?
It is safest to remove all glasses for your driving licence photo. While prescription glasses may be conditionally allowed if they do not obstruct your face, removing them avoids any risk of rejection.
Does the photo need to be black and white or colour?
The Department of Motor Traffic accepts black and white passport-size photos for offline applications. At offices with the online system, photos are taken digitally during the application process and do not need to be provided separately.
How does the Sri Lanka driving licence photo compare to the passport photo?
Both the Sri Lanka driving licence and passport use the same 35x45mm photo size with a white background. The requirements are nearly identical, so a compliant passport photo will typically work for a driving licence as well.
Do I need to bring photos to the DMT office?
If your local DMT office uses the online system, photos are captured digitally on-site and you do not need to bring printed photos. For offices using the offline process, bring two passport-size (35x45mm) photographs with a white background.
