Serbian driving licence photo (50×50 mm)

Official Size and Format

The official size for a Serbian driving licence photo is 50×50 mm, which equals 1.97×1.97 inches^[1]. You need to submit one analogue photo in this exact square format^[1]. Because the dimensions must be precise, measuring your printed output carefully is very important.

The authority requires an unretouched photo that is no more than six months old^[1]. Do not alter your appearance in the image.

Background and Face Visibility Rules

When you supply your own photo for your application, it must faithfully show your face without any concealment^[1]. The official source gives no background colour requirement for the image^[1]. However, keeping the background simple and plain helps the issuer clearly see your features.

The source says the photo must show your face faithfully without concealment^[1]. It does not give further rules about hair or clothing.

Camera Restrictions and Photo Booths

The authority says the photo must not be made in an automated photo booth^[1]. It does not specify what camera or method to use instead.

Do not use an automated photo booth^[1]. Check that your printed photo measures 50×50 mm before submitting it.

Step-by-Step Guide to Taking Your Photo at Home

You can easily capture a suitable picture at home by following a few simple steps. Find a room with bright, natural light and stand facing a large window to eliminate harsh shadows on your face.

Place your camera or phone on a stable surface or ask another person to hold it for you. Keep the camera lens at your exact eye level, positioned about one to one and a half meters away from your face, and look directly into the lens with a natural expression.

Take several test shots so you can check the lighting and your posture. Keep your head straight and centered in the frame, making sure your shoulders are relaxed and your face is fully visible.

Using the Tool and Printing at a Kiosk

After you capture a clear digital portrait, you can use the tool above to crop your image to the correct 50×50 mm dimensions. The tool runs right inside your web browser, which means your photo files never leave your personal device.

Once your square crop is ready, the tool arranges it onto a standard 4×6-inch photo sheet template. You can save this template file and take it to any local retail photo kiosk to print it out as an ordinary 4×6-inch glossy photo.

After you collect your 4×6-inch print from the kiosk, use a pair of sharp scissors or a paper cutter to trim along the edges of your 50×50 mm photo. Take your time to cut straight lines so your final analogue print fits the exact physical submission requirements.

Submission and Alternative Options

You may submit one 50×50 mm printed photo when applying to replace an old driving licence^[1]. The authority may also reuse an existing biometric image if you consent^[1].

The authority may reuse an existing biometric image with your consent^[1]. If you supply a photo, it must meet the stated size, age, and unretouched requirements^[1].

Common Reasons Photos Are Refused

The authority's stated photo requirements include a 50×50 mm size, no retouching, an age limit of six months, and no automated photo-booth images^[1]. The source does not list common causes of application delays.

Other frequent problems involve poor lighting, shadows across the face, or having features obscured by hair or clothing. Checking your photo against every official rule before you print it gives you the best chance of a successful application.
