Getting Your Moroccan International Driving Permit Photo Right
Prepare your passport photos for a Moroccan international driving permit by following the official application requirements and using the tool above to crop your image.
Understanding the Photo Size
The consular instructions request two passport photos but do not state their dimensions[1]. A 35 by 45 mm crop (1.38 by 1.77 inches) is a common practical size used in Morocco.
Because there is no fixed rule from the issuer, you must confirm the exact measurements with the issuing office or organisation before you print or submit your application[1].
Application and Submission Rules
You must apply through the Touring Club du Maroc with a valid permanent Moroccan driving licence[1]. Your submission requires two physical passport photos[1].
A 35 by 45 mm crop is a practical option, but the consular instructions do not specify photo dimensions[1].
Background and Environment
The consular instructions request two passport photos. They do not specify a background colour or portrait measurements[1].
Stand facing a bright window to get natural light on your face. Keep the camera at eye level and ask a friend to take the picture for you to avoid distortion.
Stand a little away from the wall to reduce shadows. Use natural daylight if available.
Head Height and Framing
The instructions do not specify a head-height measurement[1].
Leave a small space around your head and upper body so the image looks balanced and clear. Center your face in the middle of the frame and look directly into the camera lens.
Glasses and Headwear
The instructions do not specify rules for glasses[1].
The instructions do not specify rules for headwear[1].
Even though the rules do not mention them, it is often best to remove hats or heavy glasses if you want to keep your face completely clear and visible.
Taking Your Photo at Home
Set your phone on a stable surface or tripod to take the photo at home.
Make sure your expression is relaxed and neutral. Good lighting helps your camera capture clear details without shadows.
Take multiple shots from the same spot so you have options. Check the photos on a larger screen before you finish so you can spot any issues with focus or lighting.
Printing Your Photo Sheet
You need two passport photos[1]. A 4 by 6 inch sheet is one way to print them.
If you use a 4 by 6 inch print sheet, print it at a photo kiosk and cut out the photos.
Use sharp scissors or a paper cutter to keep the edges straight. Measure the final cut size with a ruler to check that it matches your target dimensions before you go.
Before You Visit the Office
Gather all your documents before you head out. You need your valid permanent Moroccan driving licence and your physical photos ready[1].
Double check that your prints are clean and free of smudges, fingerprints, or bends. Bring an extra copy just in case the office asks for more.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Avoid using heavy digital filters or editing your photo to change your facial features. Keep your skin tone and lighting completely natural.
Do not use a low quality selfie where the camera is held too close to your face. This can stretch your features and make the picture look distorted.
