Preparing Your Burkinabè International Driving Permit Photo
Get your photo ready for a Burkinabè international driving permit with clear steps and exact measurements.
Understanding the Size and Dimensions
The DGTTM FAQ says an international driving permit application requires two identity photos, but it does not specify their dimensions[1]. A 35 × 45 mm (1.38 × 1.77 in) crop is a practical default.
Confirm the photo size with the issuing office before printing.
You can use the tool above to crop your picture to this common size quickly and easily.
Submission Rules and Where to Apply
The international driving permit is issued by the Direction Générale des Transports Terrestres et Maritimes[1]. Your application requires two identity photos[1].
The FAQ calls for two identity photos but does not specify whether they must be printed[1].
Background and Lighting Guidelines
The cited source does not specify a background color[1]. For a practice photo, you can use a plain background.
To get the best lighting, face a bright window while someone else takes your picture. Keep the camera at your eye level and stand about one to one and a half meters away from the lens to avoid shadows and distortion on your face.
Taking Your Photo at Home Step by Step
First, find a plain wall in your home and stand a short distance away from it. Ask a friend or family member to use a digital camera or a smartphone to take a clear, straight-on picture of your head and shoulders.
Next, use the tool above to crop your image to 35 × 45 mm, a practical size that is not specified by the authority. Check that your face is centered and looking toward the camera.
Finally, download the prepared photo sheet to your device so you are ready to print it out at a local kiosk.
Printing Your Photo on a 4x6-Inch Sheet
You can place cropped 35 by 45 millimeter photos on a four by six inch sheet using the tool above.
Save the sheet and print it as a four by six inch photo if you choose to use a printed sheet.
Cut out the individual photos carefully using scissors or a paper cutter along the crop lines.
Common Reasons Photos Are Refused
The cited FAQ does not list photo rejection reasons[1]. For a practice photo, aim for a clear image without heavy shadows.
