Liberian Driver’s Licence Photo Guide

Get ready for your Liberian driver's licence photo by learning the size, background rules, and application steps. Follow this guide to prepare your photo correctly.

Photo Size and Dimensions

The Ministry of Transport does not publish an official photo size[1][2]. A commonly used practical crop is 35 by 45 millimetres (about 1.38 by 1.77 inches).

The cited procedure does not specify a head height or file size limit[1]. Since the Ministry does not publish an official photo size, confirm the size with the issuing office before submitting your photo[1][2].

The Official Application Process

The Ministry procedure asks for one passport-size photo and says applicants are photographed and fingerprinted during enrollment[1]. The cited sources do not establish that the requested photo must be a physical print.

The online form includes a passport-photo upload field[3]. The procedure also asks for one passport-size photo and says applicants are photographed and fingerprinted during enrollment[1]. Check with the Division of Motor Vehicle how to provide the requested photo.

Background and Appearance Rules

The Ministry procedure asks for one passport-size photo and describes photo and fingerprint capture during enrollment[1]. It does not state a background color or specific photo dimensions.

The procedure does not specify a background color or rules for glasses, headwear, or expression[1]. A plain background may help make the photo clear, but the source does not require one.

Taking Your Photo at Home

For a home photo, stand about one to one and a half metres from a plain wall to help reduce shadows behind your head.

Ask someone to take the photo to avoid a distorted selfie angle. Place the camera at eye level and face a bright window for even light. Direct flash can cause reflections or shadows.

Preparing Your Photo with the Tool

Use the tool above to crop your photo in your browser. Set the frame to 35 by 45 millimetres, a common practical crop size.

You can arrange the cropped image on a 4 by 6 inch sheet for printing. Check the framing before saving the file.

Avoiding Common Refusals

The cited sources do not describe photo refusal criteria. For a clear image, keep the photo in focus.

Use even lighting and check that your face is visible in the final crop. The cited sources do not specify a required head position or lighting standard.
