Egypt Driving Licence Photo — Exact Size, White Background, Ready for the Traffic Department

To obtain or renew an Egyptian driving licence, you need photos that meet the precise requirements of the Traffic Department, Ministry of Interior. Getting those photos right the first time means your application moves forward without delays or a second visit. The national standard calls for a 40×60 mm print (945×1417 px digital) with a pure white background — and the easiest way to meet every point of that specification is to prepare your photo before you ever walk into the office.

Egypt's Traffic Department is one of the few licensing authorities in the region that accepts self-supplied personal photos — applicants typically bring two recent prints with them. This means the quality and compliance of your photo is entirely in your hands. The white background requirement is strictly enforced: cream, off-white, or light grey backgrounds that might pass elsewhere will not be accepted here. The photo must also be genuinely recent — taken within the last six months — because the Traffic Department will compare it to your existing records.

• Size: 40×60 mm (945×1417 px at print resolution)
• Background: pure white (#FFFFFF) — no exceptions
• Face coverage: face must fill 70–80% of the frame height
• Expression: neutral, mouth closed, no smiling
• Glasses: not permitted in any form
• Headwear: only religious coverings are allowed; the face must remain fully visible
• Recency: photo must have been taken within the last 6 months
• Eyes: open, clearly visible, looking directly at the camera

• Common reasons photos are rejected at the Egyptian Traffic Department:
• Background is off-white, beige, or slightly coloured — the Traffic Department insists on pure white only
• Glasses left on — even clear prescription lenses cause an automatic rejection under current Egyptian regulations
• Face too small in the frame — a common error when using a standard portrait crop instead of the 40×60 mm document format, where the face must dominate the image
• Photo is outdated or visibly does not match the applicant — officers compare the submitted photo to existing licence records and will reject submissions that appear more than six months old

Upload your photo and it will be automatically cropped and sized to the exact 40×60 mm Traffic Department standard — correct background, correct face proportion, correct dimensions. You receive a free watermarked preview before any payment so you can confirm the result yourself. If you decide to proceed, you pay only for the final file. And if the Traffic Department rejects the photo despite it meeting the specification, we will redo it at no charge or refund you in full. No repeated visits, no reprints, no guesswork.
