United Kingdom Driving licence driving-licence photo guide (United Kingdom)
Scope lock: United Kingdom Driving licence is a driving-licence / DMV-style product. Passport or green-card essays are not reused on this URL.
This United Kingdom page is for a driving-licence / photocard headshot — United Kingdom Driving licence — not a passport renewal essay.
This article is scoped to United Kingdom Driving licence as a United Kingdom driving-licence / DMV-style photo (35 × 45 mm, White). Passport, green-card and visa essays stay on their own URLs.
United Kingdom driving licence photos are usually a 35 × 45 mm portrait with strict head-height bands. That is a different geometry from square US prints — never stretch a UK booth file to fake 35 × 45 mm.
Use even indoor light, face the camera straight on, skip filters. FotoPass exports 35 × 45 mm with a White field tuned for United Kingdom 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 United Kingdom Driving licence selected.
What licence desks check on United Kingdom Driving licence
Transport authorities look for a current likeness, readable eyes and a plain White card background. Glare on spectacles is a frequent licence-desk fail.

Licence portal upload vs counter print
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.
