Sudanese Driving Licence Photo Guide
Get ready for your Sudanese driving licence photo by learning the size requirements and how the General Directorate of Traffic handles applications[1].
Understanding the Size and Dimensions
The Ministry of Interior lists photography as a step in applying for private and public driving licences[1]. The cited source does not publish a photo size. This guide uses 35 by 45 millimeters (1.38 by 1.77 inches) as a practice crop.
The Ministry of Interior page does not give photo dimensions or a head-height measurement[1]. Ask the licence office whether it has photo instructions.
How the Authority Captures Your Photo

Check with the licence office about whether you need to bring a photo and follow its instructions.
Practicing and Preparing with the Tool Above
You can use the tool above to rehearse, check a photo, or prepare a copy for other personal uses. The Ministry of Interior lists photography as a step in the application process[1].
The tool runs in your browser and can help you practice framing and lighting. The Ministry of Interior lists photography as part of the licence application process[1].
Setting Up Your Practice Shots at Home
If you want to practice taking pictures at home before heading out, proper setup helps you get clear results. Face a window to use natural, soft light that illuminates your face evenly. Ask someone else to take the picture instead of trying to snap a selfie, because holding the camera yourself often changes your posture and distorts facial angles.
Keep the camera lens at eye level, roughly one to one and a half meters away from your face. Stand against a plain, neutral wall to avoid distracting backgrounds in your practice frames.
Preparing Prints for Other Uses
If you need photos for other documents, job applications, or personal records, you can arrange your cropped images into a simple sheet. The tool above helps you place multiple photos onto a standard layout.
If you make a practice layout, check the print settings to confirm its physical scale before printing.
Avoiding Common Application Pitfalls
For a practice photo, use even light and check that the image is clear. Avoid harsh shadows under your chin or across your face, which can obscure your features.
For a practice photo, face the camera with your head straight and keep a neutral expression. Check the licence office for any specific instructions.
What to Expect During Your Office Visit
The Ministry of Interior lists identity documents, photography, a medical examination, a field test, fees, and final approval among the steps for a private driving licence[1].
Follow any instructions from the licence office during photography. The Ministry page lists identity documents as part of the application process[1].
