Cambodia Driving Licence Photo — Official 4×6 cm Standard

A valid Cambodia driving licence starts with a photo that satisfies the standard set by the Ministry of Public Works and Transport (MPWT). The official format is a 40×60 mm (472×709 px) portrait on a pure white background — a precise specification that allows licensing officers, traffic police, and border agencies to identify the holder with confidence. Getting every measurement right before your appointment saves time and avoids a return visit to the licensing office.

One practical detail sets the Cambodian licensing process apart: the photo that appears on the finished licence card is most often captured digitally on-site at the licensing office on the day of your appointment, rather than taken from a submitted print. Applicants do, however, typically bring a set of 4×6 cm printed photos as part of their application package — and those prints must meet the same white-background specification. Knowing the exact standard in advance means you arrive with your appearance — clothing, hair, and expression — already matching every criterion the issuing officer checks.

• Photo dimensions: 40×60 mm (472×709 px at 300 dpi)
• Background: pure white (#FFFFFF) — no shadows, patterns, or gradients
• Face height: 55–69% of the total frame height
• Expression: neutral and relaxed, mouth closed
• Eyes: fully open and clearly visible, directed straight at the camera
• Glasses: permitted with clear, untinted lenses and no glare obscuring the eyes
• Headwear: not permitted except recognised religious coverings, which must not obscure any facial features
• Recency: taken within the last 6 months

Common reasons photos are rejected in Cambodia:

• Background is off-white, coloured, or carries visible shadows cast by the subject
• Face occupies too little or too much of the frame — outside the required 55–69% height ratio
• Tinted or reflective glasses that partially hide the eyes
• Head tilted, eyes partially closed, or a non-neutral expression
• Printed copy is blurry, pixelated, or produced on plain paper rather than photo stock

Our tool automatically crops and resizes your photo to the exact 40×60 mm / 472×709 px specification, positions the face precisely within the required ratio, and applies a flawless white background that meets the MPWT standard. A free watermarked preview is available before you download or order prints. Whether you need correctly formatted prints for the application package or a precise reference image so you know exactly how you should look when you sit down in front of the licensing camera, you leave with a photo built to the official Cambodia standard — and fully ready to reuse for visa applications or any other document that requires a submitted photo.
