Official Size and Measurements

The Palestinian Government e-Services Portal states that the licensing service requires two personal photos^[1]. The authority publishes no single official size^[1].

The authority does not publish a photo size or head-height measurement^[1]. This page uses 35 × 45 mm (1.38 × 1.77 in) as a practical crop size.

The 35 × 45 mm size is a practical suggestion, not an official requirement^[1].

Background and Submission Rules

The licensing service requires two personal photos but gives no background color^[1]. You must submit printed photos with your driving licence application^[1].

The authority does not specify size, background, or facial measurements^[1]. The 35x45 mm format is simply offered as a practical crop size to help you prepare your prints^[1].

The listing does not specify a background color^[1]. If you are unsure which background to use, ask the licensing office.

Taking Your Photo at Home

You can take your photo at home before you print it out for your application. Stand facing a bright window so that natural light hits your face evenly without casting dark shadows behind you.

Ask a friend or family member to take the picture using a camera or a smartphone. Keep the camera lens right at your eye level to avoid odd angles. Stand about one to one and a half meters away from the camera so your face keeps its normal shape.

Try to keep a calm and neutral facial expression with your mouth closed. Look straight into the camera lens and avoid tilting your head up, down, or to the side. Taking multiple test shots allows you to pick the clearest image for your final print.

Using the Tool on This Page

You can use the tool above to crop your picture to the 35x45 mm size. The tool places your cropped image onto a standard 4x6-inch photo sheet so you can print it easily.

The tool above can help you crop your picture. The service listing does not describe photo acceptance criteria^[1].

Adjust the crop frame so that your head is centered properly within the boundary lines. Take your time to review the preview before you download your final printable photo sheet.

Printing Your Photo Sheet

Once you finish preparing your 4x6-inch photo sheet, save the image file to your phone, computer, or a USB flash drive. Take the file to a local print shop or photo kiosk that handles standard 4x6-inch prints.

Print the file on ordinary glossy or matte photo paper at its exact original size without adding extra scaling or stretching. Use a pair of sharp scissors or a paper cutter to cut out the individual 35x45 mm photos cleanly along the borders before you attach them to your paperwork.

Check that the printouts do not have any ink smudges or pixelation. Clean cuts along the edges will make your application look neat and tidy when you hand it over to the licensing official.

Photo Preparation

The listing does not specify a background color or facial measurements^[1]. Use even lighting and keep your face in focus for a clear photo.

The listing requires two personal photos^[1]. Contact the licensing office if you need to confirm any other photo requirements.

Avoid wearing heavy filters or digital touch-ups that change your natural appearance. Keep your eyes open and visible, and make sure your hair does not cover your face or eyes during the shot.

Preparing for Your Office Visit

Before you head to the Palestinian Ministry of Transport and Communications office, gather all required documents along with your two printed photos^[1].

Put your cut photos in a small envelope or secure pouch so they do not get bent or scratched in your bag. Arriving prepared helps the appointment process move along smoothly.
