Guinean Driving Licence Photo Guide
Prepare your photo for a Guinean driving licence by checking the correct dimensions and printing steps. You can use the tool above to make your picture ready for print.
Official Size and Dimensions
The authority does not publish an official photo size. A 35×45 mm photo (about 1.38×1.77 inches) is a common practical choice, but it is not an official requirement. Check with the SIGPC centre before preparing a photo.
Head height rules are also not set by the authority[1]. When you take your photo, try to keep your head centered and leave a small, balanced space around the top and sides of your hair and face. This helps keep your picture looking neat and professional even without a strict official rule.
Background and Studio Rules
Applicants attend the SIGPC centre in person for capture of personal and biometric data. The authority does not specify photo background colour or dimensions[1].
Applicants attend the SIGPC centre in person for capture of personal and biometric data[1]. The source does not say that applicants should bring a separate photo.
Taking Your Photo at Home
Taking your own ID photo at home is simple if you follow a few basic steps. Stand about one to one and a half meters away from the camera lens. Keep the camera or phone at your exact eye level so your face is not tilted up or down.
Ask a friend or family member to take the picture for you instead of trying to take a selfie. Selfies often distort facial features because the camera is held too close. Face a window with soft, natural daylight to get the best lighting possible.
Preparing and Printing Your Sheet
Applicants visit the SIGPC centre in person, where staff capture personal and biometric data[1]. The authority does not publish a required photo size. A 35×45 mm crop is a common practical choice, not an official specification.
The tool places your cropped photo onto a standard 4x6-inch sheet. Take this digital file to a local photo kiosk or print shop. Print it out just like an ordinary holiday snapshot, making sure the print settings do not stretch or resize the image.
Avoiding Common Refusals
The authority does not publish photo specifications such as dimensions or background colour[1]. The source does not list photo quality as a reason for refusal.
If you wear glasses or head coverings, check whether they create glare or hide your facial features. Clear visibility of your eyes and facial structure is important for any identification document. If you are unsure, take a few different shots and pick the clearest one.
Who Can Apply and Appointments
Guinean citizens and foreign residents in Guinea may obtain a biometric driving licence[1]. Applicants complete enrolment in person at the SIGPC centre[1].
Remember that the authority handles biometric data collection directly during your visit[1]. Bringing a properly formatted photo helps your appointment stay on track. Always verify your documents before you leave home to avoid extra trips.
