Montenegrin Driving Licence Photo Guidelines
When you apply for a Montenegrin driving licence, you need to know how the authority handles your photo. The Ministry of the Interior of Montenegro captures the image directly during your application process[1].
Official Size and Application Details
The official regulation from the Ministry of the Interior of Montenegro specifies a 24 by 33 mm photo area on the card[1]. In inches, this size is about 0.94 by 1.3 inches. The authority captures this image during the official application procedure[1]. There is no separate rule for photos that you supply yourself[1].

Background and Lighting at Home
The official rule describes the licence design itself but does not specify a photo background color[1]. If you are taking a practice picture at home for other purposes, you should find a plain, light-colored wall to stand in front of. Avoid walls with patterns or bright objects hanging behind you.
Good lighting makes a big difference in how your face looks. Face a window during daylight hours to get soft and even light across your features. Try not to use overhead lights that cast dark shadows under your eyes or nose. If someone else takes the picture for you, ask them to stand about one to one and a half meters away.
Head Height and Framing
The authority does not set a specific head height rule for this document[1]. You have flexibility when framing a casual picture at home. Center your face in the middle of the frame and leave a small amount of space above your head and around your shoulders.
Keep the camera lens right at your eye level. If you hold the camera too low or too high, your face will look tilted or distorted. Stand up straight and look directly into the camera lens with a relaxed posture.
Glasses, Expression, and Headwear
The official rules are unspecified regarding glasses for this licence[1]. If you normally wear prescription eyeglasses, you can choose whether to wear them for your personal photos. If you take a photo with glasses, check for any glare or flash reflection on the lenses.
The cited regulation does not specify rules for headwear, expression, or mouth position[1].
Using the Tool on This Page
You might want to prepare a photo for personal use or practice your framing before you visit the office. The tool on this page helps you crop pictures to the correct 24 by 33 mm size right inside your web browser. Your photo never leaves your device, which keeps your personal files private.

Preparing for Your Office Visit
Since the Ministry of the Interior of Montenegro captures the photo during the application[1], your main task is to arrive prepared for your appointment. Bring all required identification papers, current identity cards, and any forms requested by local staff. Arriving a few minutes early gives you time to settle in before your picture is taken.
Follow all instructions given by the clerks at the office. They will guide you through the biometric capture and make sure your details are correct. Checking local office hours ahead of time helps your visit go without unnecessary delays.
