Australia Driving licence from South Africa: licence / DMV crop only
Scope lock: Australia Driving licence is a driving-licence / DMV-style product. Passport or green-card essays are not reused on this URL.

This article is scoped to Australia Driving licence as a Australia driving-licence / DMV-style photo (35 × 45 mm, White). Passport, green-card and visa essays stay on their own URLs.
Cross-border licence work: UI market South Africa, photo law Australia for Australia Driving licence. Passport essays are not reused here.
Australian passport guidance centres on 35 × 45 mm. If you selected Australia Driving licence, ignore that local default and keep 35 × 45 mm with White.
Home-market tip: South Africa passport photos are commonly about 35 × 45 mm. Australia Driving licence instead demands 35 × 45 mm — different aspect ratio, not a simple resize.
From South Africa: selfie → Australia Driving licence selected → upload → send the export to the Australia licence portal or counter — not a recycled travel JPEG.
Why South Africa prints fail Australia licence desks
A 35 × 45 mm South Africa travel print does not become a legal 35 × 45 mm licence photo by trimming one edge.
Licence desks also reject glasses glare and outdated likeness more aggressively than some passport counters.
Licence portal notes from South Africa
Upload the newest Australia Driving licence file for the Australia transport authority — keep the selector off passport products.
Apply portal compression only after the licence crop is correct.
Stay on the licence product (Australia Driving licence)
Switching to a South Africa passport mid-flow silently changes millimetres. H1 and selector must remain Australia Driving licence.
