Georgia Driving Licence Photo — Official Requirements & Exact Size
Everything you need to know about the 35×45 mm photo standard for a Georgian driving licence issued by the Service Agency of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
This photo must be taken by an accredited service
For this document, Georgia does not accept a self-prepared photo. By law it must be captured on site by an authorised service and submitted electronically, so we cannot produce a submittable file for it. The official specification is shown below so you know exactly what to expect at your appointment.
This photo is captured on site — but we can make your Georgia photos online:
A document photo is a headache of its own
A Georgia Driving licence photo has strict requirements, and a mistake costs time and money. We’ll show you how to pass on the first try.
It gets rejected
Wrong size, background or cropping — and the system returns the application.
Expensive and slow
A trip to a photo studio means a queue, time and €7–12 for a reshoot.
Confusing requirements
Exact size, head height, light background, facial expression — easy to get wrong.
Redo it all over
Rejected — take another photo, pay and submit again. Round and round.

Your Driving licence photo: what matters
Getting a Georgian driving licence means meeting the photo standard administered by the Service Agency of the Ministry of Internal Affairs (sa.gov.ge). The accepted format follows the national 35×45 mm ICAO-aligned specification — the same international baseline used across Georgian government identity documents. A photo that matches every parameter precisely means no delays at the service centre and a smoother licensing process overall.
In Georgia, the driving licence photograph is captured digitally on-site at the exam or Service Agency centre — you do not submit a printed photo by hand. A trained operator takes the image at the point of service using the agency's own equipment. Understanding this is key: your preparation goal is to arrive looking exactly as the standard requires, so the live capture produces a clean, correct result from the start.
Official photo requirements
- Size: 35×45 mm (digital equivalent: 827×1063 px at 600 dpi)
- Background: plain light grey, hex #DCDCDC — no gradients, shadows, or patterns
- Face height: 70–80% of the total frame height
- Expression: neutral and relaxed — mouth closed, no smiling
- Glasses: permitted only when eyes are completely visible; no tinted lenses, no reflective glare
- Headwear: religious coverings only; face must remain fully visible from forehead to chin
- Photo currency: taken within the last 6 months to reflect current appearance
Common reasons photos are rejected in Georgia
- Incorrect background tone — the Service Agency system expects the specific light-grey #DCDCDC shade; off-white or pure white backgrounds are flagged during processing
- Face out of proportion — face height falling below 70% or above 80% of the frame is the most frequent technical fault caught during on-site capture
- Tinted or reflective eyewear — sunglasses or lenses with any colour tint are not accepted, regardless of prescription status
- Uneven or directional lighting — shadows cast across one side of the face or behind the head cause the digital capture to be retaken on the spot
Our tool processes your photo against the exact Georgian driving licence specification — correct dimensions, background tone, and face framing — and delivers a ready reference image. Because the Service Agency takes your photo on the day, the real value is twofold: you see precisely how a compliant photo must look before your appointment, arriving fully prepared, and you have a specification-matched image ready to reuse for any other Georgian or international documents that accept submitted photographs.
