Prepare Your Tunisian Driving Licence Photo at Home

Get your Tunisian driving licence photo ready using the tool above and print it easily at home or at a local kiosk. Follow official rules to make sure your application goes well.

Official Size and Specifications

The cited official sources do not publish a photo size for a Tunisian driving licence[1][2]. A 35 by 45 mm crop is a practical size, not an official specification. Confirm the size with your issuing office before applying.

The cited sources do not specify a head-height measurement[1][2].

Submission Rules for Your Application

Different types of applications require specific submission methods. When you apply to renew your licence, the official rules require you to provide two recent identity photos[1]. If you are submitting a first application, the official paperwork includes a designated photo box where your picture must fit correctly[2].

The renewal instructions ask for two recent identity photos[1]. The cited sources do not state whether the photos must be printed or specify a size. Confirm the requirements with your issuing office.

How to Take Your Photo at Home

Taking your picture at home requires careful preparation to make sure your photo looks clear and professional. Stand about one to one and a half meters away from the camera to get the best framing and body proportion. Always ask a friend or family member to take the picture for you instead of attempting a selfie, because holding the camera yourself often distorts your facial features and creates an awkward angle.

Keep the camera at your exact eye level and make sure the lens is clean. Face a bright window to capture natural daylight on your face, which prevents dark shadows under your nose and chin.

Background and Lighting Requirements

Pay close attention to the background and lighting when you snap your picture. The official sources require recent identity photos but do not state photo dimensions or background specifications[1][2]. The dimensions shown on this page are a common practical crop size, not an official Tunisian specification[1][2].

Turn off your camera flash entirely to avoid red eyes and shiny spots on your skin. Make sure the light falls evenly across both sides of your face so there are no heavy shadows in the background behind you.

Printing Your Photo on a 4x6 Sheet

Once you have cropped your photo to the practical 35 by 45 mm size using the tool above, you need to prepare it for printing. You can place your cropped photo onto a standard 4-inch by 6-inch photo sheet, which is the standard size for home printers and retail kiosks. Take this digital file to a standard print kiosk just like an ordinary vacation picture. Print the sheet on quality glossy or matte photo paper either at home or at a shop. Cut out the pictures carefully using sharp scissors or a paper cutter to maintain clean, straight edges.

Printing at a kiosk gives you an affordable way to get physical copies without visiting a professional studio. Just make sure the print settings do not stretch or resize your 4x6 sheet, keeping the 35 by 45 mm crops at their exact correct proportions.

Avoiding Common Photo Rejections

Avoiding common photo rejections saves you time and prevents extra trips to the application office. Always check that your photos are recent and truly reflect your current appearance. Old pictures, blurry images, or photos with poor lighting often get rejected by administrative staff.

Keep your expression natural, close your mouth, and look straight into the camera lens without tilting your head. Check that your final print matches the required 35 by 45 mm dimensions cleanly before you attach it to your application form. Taking these precautions helps your paperwork move forward without unexpected picture problems.
