A better photo is needed
- Good even lighting, no shadows

- Plain light background
- Camera at eye level, not too close
A document photo is a headache of its own
A Suriname 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
Applying for a Suriname driving licence (rijbewijs) means submitting a photo that meets the official passport-style standard used by the Korps Politie Suriname (KPS) and its licensing arm, the Centraal Bureau Bevolkingsadministratie (CBB). Getting the photo right before your visit saves a wasted trip — and our service automatically crops and calibrates your picture to the precise specification so it arrives ready to submit.
Unlike many countries where driving-licence photos are taken on-site at a licensing centre, Suriname follows a police-administered process in which applicants supply their own printed photos along with the application dossier. The standard applied is identical to the national passport photo standard: a colour image on a plain, neutral light background. Because the CBB physically inspects your documents at the counter, a photo that deviates in size, background tone, or face proportion is returned on the spot — meaning you must start the queue again on another day. Preparing the photo correctly the first time is not just convenient; it is essential.
- Size: 35 × 45 mm (digital: 827 × 1063 px at 600 dpi)
- Background: plain light grey — hex #E6E6E6; no patterns, shadows, or gradients
- Face height: the face must fill 70–80% of the total frame height
- Expression: neutral, mouth closed, eyes fully open and looking directly at the camera
- Glasses: not permitted under any circumstances
- Headwear: only permitted for verified religious reasons; the full face including forehead and chin must remain visible
- Recency: photo must have been taken within the last 6 months and reflect your current appearance
- Colour: full colour; black-and-white photos are not accepted
- Print quality: sharp focus, even lighting, no red-eye or harsh shadows on the face or background
Common reasons photos are rejected at the CBB counter in Suriname:
- Wrong background tone: a white (#FFFFFF) or off-white background that differs visibly from the required light grey — a frequent mistake when printing at home
- Glasses worn: even thin frames or clear lenses are grounds for immediate rejection; the rule is absolute
- Face too small or too large: a selfie cropped with too much headroom, or a portrait zoomed in so the chin is cut off, both fail the 70–80% face-height rule
- Shadows on the background: taken against a wall with overhead lighting, creating a grey gradient behind the head — the background must be uniformly flat
To get your photo ready: upload any clear, recent photo of yourself — a smartphone portrait in good natural light works perfectly. The photo is automatically aligned, cropped to 35 × 45 mm, and the background is set to the correct neutral grey. You receive a free watermarked preview before paying a single cent, so you can confirm it looks right. We back every order with an acceptance guarantee: if the CBB or police counter rejects the photo for any technical reason, we redo it free of charge or give you a full refund. You only pay for a finished file you are happy with.
How we make your Driving licence photo meet the official standard — Suriname, 35 × 45 mm

- 2We check the background, head position, gaze and lighting, and flag glasses or head coverings that are not allowed.
- 3We match the rules to the specific document and country, against the exact format requirements.
- 4If anything does not meet the standard, you get a free re-do or your money back.

A digital photo is normal, and it gets accepted — Suriname, 35 × 45 mm
You do not need a trip to a studio. Authorities accept any Driving licence photo that meets the official requirements — what matters is the standard, not where the photo was made. We match that standard exactly.
The standard is what counts
Officials check your photo against the rules — size, background, head position and lighting — not where you took it.
Part of official processes
Many passport, visa and ID services let you upload a digital photo or submit a print — both are fine when they meet the spec.
Same result as a studio
We prepare your file to the exact official measurements, so it is accepted just like a professional studio photo.
And you are covered
If a photo is ever rejected for not meeting the requirements, we redo it for free or refund you.
