Netherlands Driving licence from United States: licence / DMV crop only
Scope lock: Netherlands Driving licence is a driving-licence / DMV-style product. Passport or green-card essays are not reused on this URL.
Even when your FotoPass market shows United States, a Netherlands Driving licence must still meet Netherlands photo law for that document — local domestic sizes are a different product.
This article is scoped to Netherlands Driving licence as a Netherlands driving-licence / DMV-style photo (35 × 45 mm, White). Passport, green-card and visa essays stay on their own URLs.

From United States: selfie → Netherlands Driving licence selected → upload → send the export to the Netherlands licence portal or counter — not a recycled travel JPEG.
Why United States prints fail Netherlands licence desks
A 51 × 51 mm (2 × 2 in) United States 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Licence desks also reject glasses glare and outdated likeness more aggressively than some passport counters.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 United States
Upload the newest Netherlands Driving licence file for the Netherlands transport authority — keep the selector off passport products.
