Monégasque Driving Licence Photo Requirements and Size
You need a clear photo for your Monégasque driving licence application. Follow these official rules to prepare your picture correctly.
Official Size and Issuing Authority
The Service des Titres de Circulation handles driving licence applications in Monaco[1]. The authority does not publish a separate photo size. The 35×45 mm (1.38×1.77 in) size is a commonly requested studio size, not an official requirement.
Ask the issuing office whether it requires a separate photo before you apply.
Background, Headwear, and Positioning
Your face image must show you facing forward, with your head uncovered against a light background[1].
The authority does not publish a distinct photo size or a set head height limit. Keep your head straight, hold your shoulders level, and look directly at the camera lens so your features are easy to see.
How the Authority Captures Your Image
When you submit your application, the authority digitally captures your face image and signature[1]. The regulation allows licences in a three-panel format and in ID-1 format; it says three-panel licences will be replaced by ID-1 licences by January 2033[1].
The regulation says the authority captures your face image and signature when you submit the application[1].
Rules for Minors and Applications
If you are submitting paperwork on behalf of a younger driver, special administrative rules apply. Applications for minors are filed by a person exercising parental authority[1].
The regulation gives no infant-specific photo requirements. It says the image must show the applicant facing forward, head uncovered, against a light background[1].
Taking Your Photo at Home
You can set up a simple photo area at home before you go to your appointment. Face a bright window to get even, natural light on your face without casting harsh shadows behind you.
Stand about one to one and a half meters away from the camera to avoid distorting your facial features. Ask a friend or family member to take the picture instead of holding the camera at arm's length for yourself.
Preparing Your Print Sheet
If you need to print your cropped photo at home or at a local shop, you can arrange it on a standard sheet. The tool above helps you place your cropped 35×45 mm photo onto an ordinary 4×6-inch photo layout.
The tool keeps your photo on your device while you prepare the print sheet.
