Togo Driving Licence Photo Guide
Prepare your Togo driving licence photos with the published background and submission details. The authority does not specify a photo size.
Understanding the Official Size Rules
The Direction des Transports Routiers et Ferroviaires provides the driving licence procedure[1]. The page requires five identity photos on a white background for an initial application, but it does not specify their size[1]. This guide uses 35 by 45 mm (1.38 by 1.77 inches) as a practical placeholder. Check the size with the office before printing.
The source does not specify head height or other photo composition details[1].
Background and Lighting Requirements
A plain white background is strictly required for your Togo driving licence photo[1]. The official source notes that no photo dimensions or other composition details are published by the transport authority[1]. To meet the white background rule at home, you can stand in front of a clean white wall. Make sure there are no picture frames, marks, or shadows behind you.
Good lighting helps your photo look clear and sharp. Face a window to catch natural daylight on your face. Avoid standing directly under overhead lights because they create dark shadows under your eyes and nose. Do not use a heavy flash on your camera since it washes out your skin tones and can create a shadow on the wall. Take your time to check the lighting before you snap the picture. If the room is too dark, your camera might produce a grainy image that the office rejects. Natural light from outside gives the most accurate skin tones and keeps your features clear.
Submission and Print Quantities
The listed initial application requires five identity photos on a white background[1]. The source does not describe a digital submission process or give a photo quantity for renewals.
The source calls for identity photos but does not specify their dimensions or paper type[1]. Check print details with the office before preparing your copies.

The listed initial application requires five identity photos on a white background[1].
Taking Your Photo at Home Step by Step
The source requires a white background but does not give photo-taking instructions[1]. If you take a photo at home, use a plain white background and check with the office about the required format.
The source does not specify camera distance, pose, expression, clothing, glasses, or headwear[1]. Follow any instructions provided by the licensing office.
Preparing Your File and Avoiding Refusals
The official source does not state a photo size[1]. This guide uses 35 by 45 mm as a practical placeholder; confirm the required size with the office before printing.
Check your final image carefully before you print it out. Make sure your face is fully visible, the lighting is bright and even, and the background is pure white without any shadows. Take your printed sheet to a kiosk, cut out the photos carefully with scissors, and submit them to the transport office[1].
