Frequently Asked Questions
What size is a Portuguese driving licence photo?
The photo must be 35x45mm, which is the standard European biometric photo size. This is the same size used for Portuguese passports and ID cards.
Can I wear glasses in my driving licence photo?
No. Glasses are not allowed in Portuguese driving licence photos unless you have official medical documentation proving you cannot remove them. Even then, there must be no glare or reflections on the lenses.
How is my photo submitted for the driving licence?
In Portugal, the photo is typically captured digitally at the IMT office or driving school during your biometrics appointment. Alternatively, the photo from your Citizen Card (Cartão de Cidadão) can be used if it's current and valid.
What's the difference between driving licence and passport photo requirements?
Portuguese driving licence and passport photos have identical requirements — both use the 35x45mm biometric format with white background and ICAO compliance. A compliant passport photo will also work for your driving licence.
Can I use my Citizen Card photo for my driving licence?
Yes. When applying for your driving licence through IMT Online, you can authorize the use of biometric data (photo and signature) from your valid Citizen Card. The card must be activated and current.
What background color is required?
A plain white or light neutral background is required. The background must have no patterns, textures, shadows, or other objects visible.
