San Marino Driving Licence Photo Guidelines

Prepare your photo correctly for your San Marino driving licence application by following official size specifications and simple home photography tips.

Official Size and Document Rules

URAT's FAQ gives a 35 × 45 mm passport-style photo size for some driving-licence procedures, including licence confirmation[1]. That is about 1.38 × 1.77 inches.

If your procedure requires this photo, check its dimensions before you submit it.

Understanding URAT Specifications

The cited FAQ does not publish a head-height measurement or other portrait specifications[1].

The cited page does not specify a background color or other portrait details[1].

Background and Lighting Recommendations

Good lighting makes a big difference when you capture your own licence photo at home. Face a natural light source like a large window to illuminate your face evenly on both sides. Avoid standing directly under harsh overhead lights that cast deep shadows under your nose and chin.

For a clear photo, ask someone else to take it and hold the camera at eye level.

Expression, Glasses, and Headwear

The cited FAQ does not specify expression, mouth, or eye-position rules[1].

The official source does not specify rules for glasses or headwear[1]. Check with URAT if you need guidance on these details.

Taking Your Photo Step by Step

Set up your camera or phone about one to one and a half meters away from where you stand. Make sure the background behind you is clutter-free and neutral in tone. Good camera distance prevents facial distortion.

Take several test shots so you can check your posture, lighting, and expression. Review the images to confirm that your entire face from your chin to the top of the head fits comfortably inside the frame before you finalize anything.

Preparing Your 4x6 Print Sheet

The cited FAQ gives a photo requirement for some driving-licence procedures[1]. Ask URAT whether your procedure requires a printed photo.

You can easily arrange your cropped 35×45 mm image onto a standard 4×6-inch photo template. Take this digital print sheet to any standard photo kiosk, retail store, or print shop to produce a physical copy on glossy photo paper.
