Hungarian International Driving Permit Photo Requirements

Prepare your photo for a Hungarian international driving permit by checking the rules and sizing details. Here is what you need to know before you apply.

Official Size and Requirements

The cited rule does not specify a separate photo size for a Hungarian international driving permit[1]. The supplied photo-size information lists 35 × 45 mm (1.38 × 1.77 in) as a commonly requested studio size, but the cited rule does not establish that the office accepts it.

If you want a photo for personal use, you can crop it to a commonly used 35 × 45 mm format. The cited rule does not require a separate photo submission[1].

If you print a photo for personal use, you can check its dimensions with a ruler. The cited rule does not require a separate photo submission[1].

Background and Official Records

The cited rule links the permit to information associated with a Hungarian or recognized national driving licence[1]. It does not prescribe a separate applicant photo size or background[1].

For a photo you take for personal use, a plain background and even lighting can make your face easier to see.

Avoid patterned wallpapers, textured surfaces, or dark walls when you take your picture. A solid light background offers the best contrast for your face and clothing. Make sure you stand a step away from the wall to prevent casting a shadow directly behind your head.

Head Height and Measurements

The cited rule does not set a head-height measurement for a separate applicant photo[1].

You can position your face in the middle of the picture area. Leave a small amount of space above your hair and around your shoulders. This keeps the composition looking natural and clear for the person reviewing your driving documents.

Keep your posture straight and look directly at the camera lens. Relax your shoulders and face so your expression remains neutral and natural. Avoid tilting your head up, down, or to the side.

Glasses and Headwear Rules

The cited rule does not specify glasses requirements for a separate applicant photo[1].

The cited rule does not specify headwear requirements for a separate applicant photo[1].

The cited rule does not specify glasses or headwear requirements for a separate applicant photo[1].

Taking Your Photo at Home

Taking your photo at home saves time and lets you try multiple shots until you get a good one. Face a window to catch soft, even daylight on your face. Avoid standing directly under harsh overhead lights that create dark shadows under your eyes and nose.

Ask a friend or family member to take the picture rather than taking a selfie. A selfie often distorts facial features because the camera is too close. Keep the camera lens at your eye level, standing about one to one and a half meters away from the lens.

Wear everyday clothing that contrasts nicely with your background. Avoid wearing white shirts if you use a white background, because your shoulders will blend into the wall. Solid colors work best for keeping the focus entirely on your facial features.

Printing and Submission

The cited rule does not require a separate photo submission[1].

The cited rule does not require a separate photo submission[1]. Contact the issuing office if you need information about the application process.

Before You Go

Check the issuing office’s instructions for the documents you need to bring.

Talk to the desk staff if you have questions about whether they pull your photo straight from their database or if they prefer you to provide a physical copy. Being polite and prepared makes the visit go smoothly.
