Georgian Driving Licence Photo Requirements and Guidelines
Getting a Georgian driving licence involves specific steps handled directly by the state. Here is what you need to know about the photo process and how to prepare. Knowing what to expect can help you save time when you visit the office.
Who Takes Your Official Photo
The Service Agency captures and stores the portrait for the licence. Applicants do not supply a photo crop[1].
The agency captures and stores your portrait, so you do not need to prepare a photo crop[1].
Official Size and Measurements
The authority does not publish an official photo size[2][1]. The 35×45 mm size is a practical studio estimate, not an official requirement.
The reviewed sources do not publish a head-height requirement or an official photo size[2][1]. The 35×45 mm figure is a practical studio estimate.
Background and Lighting Rules
The agency captures the portrait, and the reviewed sources do not publish an applicant photo background requirement[2][1].
For a practice photo, use even lighting and keep the camera at eye level. Turn on a lamp in front of you to avoid dark shadows under your nose or chin. Stand a few feet away from your background so your outline looks clear and sharp.
Glasses, Expression, and Head Coverings
The official rules do not specify requirements for glasses, headwear, or facial expression[2].
The cited sources do not specify rules for glasses or accessories. If you normally wear everyday glasses, you can check how they look in practice shots. Keep your face relaxed and look straight into the camera lens. If you wear head coverings for personal reasons, you can test how they frame your face using our tool.
Using the Tool for Practice
Even though the state takes the official picture, you might still want to prepare a photo for other personal reasons or mock applications. You can use the tool above to crop your images to the common 35×45 mm size.
You can use the tool to practice framing a portrait or prepare an image for personal use.
Preparing a Print at Home or Kiosk
The agency captures the official licence photo; a personal print is not needed for the licence application[1].
You can save this sheet as a standard image file and send it to any photo printer or print it at home on regular photo paper. Just remember that this printed copy is strictly for your own personal use or practice, as the official licence photo is taken on site by the agency[2][1]. Having a printed sheet at home can still be handy for family records or non-official identification needs. If you print at home, set your printer to high quality and use matte or gloss photo paper for the best finish.
What to Expect During Your Visit
The Service Agency captures the applicant’s portrait for the licence[2][1].
Applicants do not supply a photo crop because the agency captures the portrait[1]. Follow the staff’s instructions when your portrait is taken.
