In this article, we’ll walk you through the requirements for a Singapore driving license passport photo and show you how to submit it with your application. By following the tips in this guide, you can ensure your driving license application isn’t delayed due to issues with the passport photo.
Driving license passport photo size and requirements
The photo for your Singapore driving license application should meet the following requirements:
- Your photo should measure 35mm wide by 45mm high
- Your head should be centered and take up about 70-80% of the frame
- The background must be plain white or off-white
- Your facial features should be clearly visible without any obstructions like hair, glasses, or head coverings (unless worn for religious reasons)
To ensure your photo meets all the necessary criteria, consider using the Smartphone iD app. Our app provides real-time guidance to help you capture the perfect shot that adheres to Singapore’s driving license photo requirements.
Submitting your Singapore driving license passport photo
Once you have your passport photo ready, it’s time to submit it with your driving license application. The Traffic Police requires applicants to submit their passport photos digitally in JPEG format. Here’s what you need to know:
- Ensure your passport photo is in JPEG format with a resolution of at least 300 dpi.
- The file size should be between 20KB and 200KB.
- Name the file using your NRIC number followed by your name (e.g., S1234567A_JohnDoe.jpg).
- Upload the JPEG file to the Traffic Police’s online application portal or bring it to your scheduled appointment on a USB drive.
By submitting a digital passport photo in the correct format, you can avoid any delays caused by rejected photos.
