Sudafrica Patente from Svizzera: licence / DMV crop only
Scope lock: Sudafrica Patente is a driving-licence / DMV-style product. Passport or green-card essays are not reused on this URL.
Even when your FotoPass market shows Svizzera, a Sudafrica Patente must still meet Sudafrica photo law for that document — local domestic sizes are a different product.
This article is scoped to Sudafrica Patente as a Sudafrica driving-licence / DMV-style photo (35 × 45 mm, Bianco). Passport, green-card and visa essays stay on their own URLs.
Cross-border licence work: UI market Svizzera, photo law Sudafrica for Sudafrica Patente. Passport essays are not reused here.
Official framing for Sudafrica Patente on FotoPass is 35 × 45 mm with a Bianco background. Treat any other country’s booth print as a different template.
Home-market tip: Svizzera passport photos are commonly about 35 × 45 mm. Sudafrica Patente instead demands 35 × 45 mm — different aspect ratio, not a simple resize.
From Svizzera: selfie → Sudafrica Patente selected → upload → send the export to the Sudafrica licence portal or counter — not a recycled travel JPEG.
Why Svizzera prints fail Sudafrica licence desks
A 35 × 45 mm Svizzera 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Licence desks also reject glasses glare and outdated likeness more aggressively than some passport counters.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 Svizzera
Upload the newest Sudafrica Patente file for the Sudafrica transport authority — keep the selector off passport products.
Apply portal compression only after the licence crop is correct.
Stay on the licence product (Sudafrica Patente)
Switching to a Svizzera passport mid-flow silently changes millimetres. H1 and selector must remain Sudafrica Patente.
