Official Size for Your San Marino International Driving Permit Photo
URAT's FAQ requires one passport-style photo for a San Marino international driving permit[1].
The official size for this passport-style photo is 35×45 mm, which is about 1.38×1.77 inches[1].
The FAQ does not publish a head-height measurement or other portrait specifications[1].
Background and Portrait Specifications
The official page from URAT publishes no background wording or other portrait specifications for this document[1].
The FAQ does not specify a background[1].
A clean, light-colored wall works best if you are taking the picture at home. The official FAQ simply requires one 35×45 mm passport-style photo along with your valid national driving licence[1].
Submitting a Printed Photo
The FAQ requires one passport-style photo for the permit[1].
The cited FAQ does not specify whether the photo is submitted digitally or in print[1].
You can prepare your image file so that it fits neatly onto a standard 4×6-inch photo sheet, which lets you print it at any local photo kiosk or home printer without paying high studio fees.
How to Take Your Photo at Home
Taking a good portrait at home requires simple preparation and attention to detail. Stand about one to one and a half meters away from your camera or phone to avoid distortion of your facial features.
Face a bright window to get even, natural lighting on your face without harsh shadows under your nose or chin. Ask a friend or family member to take the picture for you instead of trying to take a selfie, as arm length changes the angle too much and distorts proportions.
Keep your camera at your exact eye level and make sure the lens is clean before you start capturing images.
Preparing Your Print Sheet with the Tool Above
You can use the tool above to crop your picture to 35 × 45 mm, the size listed in URAT's FAQ[1].
The tool places your cropped photo onto a 4×6-inch template so you can print it easily as a standard photo print at any store with a printing kiosk.
Check the tool's privacy information to learn how it handles your photo. The FAQ does not publish other portrait standards[1].
Avoiding Common Photo Mistakes
The FAQ does not list other portrait specifications[1]. For a clear photo, use even lighting and keep the camera steady.
Check that the photo is clear and in good condition.
Inspect your final print under good lighting before you head to the office to make sure it looks professional and clear.
Completing Your Application
When your photo is printed and ready, gather all the other required items for your visit to the URAT office. The official FAQ notes that you must bring your valid national driving licence along with your 35×45 mm photo[1].
Check with URAT for office hours and any other documents you need.
Present your printed photo neatly cut to the correct dimensions alongside your identification papers.
