Liechtenstein Driving Licence Photo Requirements
Prepare your photo for a Liechtenstein driving licence by following the official standards. You can use the tool above to format your image correctly.
Official Size and Dimensions
Your photo for the Liechtenstein driving licence must follow precise measurements set by the authority. The official size is 35 by 45 millimeters, which is about 1.38 by 1.77 inches[1][2].
When framing your face, the distance from your chin to the top of your head must measure between 29 and 34 millimeters[3]. Face the camera with your head straight and shoulders level[3].
Background and Lighting
The official photo guide requires a neutral, plain and uniform background without shadows; no specific background color is stated[3]. Make sure there are no patterns, objects, or other people visible behind you.
To get good lighting, face a bright window during the day. Avoid harsh overhead lights that create dark shadows under your nose or chin. Turn off your camera flash to prevent glare and red-eye.
Expression, Eyes, and Mouth
You must maintain a neutral facial expression in the photo[3]. Do not smile, frown, or raise your eyebrows.
Keep your mouth completely closed[3]. Your eyes must be open, clearly visible, and looking straight toward the camera lens. Hair should not cover your eyes or face.
Glasses and Head Coverings
Glasses are allowed conditionally in your application photo[3]. If you wear glasses, the frames must not obscure your eyes, and there must be no glare on the lenses.
Head coverings are strictly prohibited unless worn for religious or medical reasons[3]. Even with religious or medical headwear, your full face from the chin to the top of the forehead must remain completely visible without shadows.
Photo Age and Submission
The standard application requires one current color passport photo that is no older than 3 months[1][2]. Older photos will be refused by the office.
The same photo is used for both the learner permit and the full driving licence[1][2]. Submit a color passport photo with the application. The form says not to use a scanned photo or one printed on plain paper[1][2].
Rules for Children
Taking photos of infants and toddlers can be difficult, but the authority provides some flexibility. The authority's photo guide allows some deviations for small children, including face size and expression[3].
Lay a baby on a plain neutral sheet or photograph a young child seated against a plain wall. Ensure no adult hands or support items appear in the final frame.
Printing Your Photo Sheet
The office requires physical prints for your application[1]. You can prepare your cropped image using the tool above to arrange it onto a standard 4 by 6 inch photo layout.
Take the digital file to a standard photo kiosk and print it as a normal 4 by 6 inch glossy photo. Cut out the individual 35 by 45 millimeter pictures carefully along the edges before submitting them.
