Scope lock: Canada Driving licence is a driving-licence / DMV-style product. Passport or green-card essays are not reused on this URL.
This Canada page is for a driving-licence / photocard headshot — Canada Driving licence — not a passport renewal essay.
This article is scoped to Canada Driving licence as a Canada driving-licence / DMV-style photo (35 × 45 mm, White). Passport, green-card and visa essays stay on their own URLs.
Canadian passport prints are often 50 × 70 mm. Canada Driving licence here is 35 × 45 mm — a common dual-citizen mistake is uploading the Canadian strip unchanged.
Use even indoor light, face the camera straight on, skip filters. FotoPass exports 35 × 45 mm with a White field tuned for Canada road-authority / DMV-style intake.
Never paste a travel-document JPEG into a licence application by default. Glasses, recency and backdrop rules often diverge — start again with Canada Driving licence selected.

Many licence renewals accept a digital JPEG near 35 × 45 mm. Some counters still want a paper print — crop first here, compress second if the portal has a KB limit.
