Ugandan Driving Permit Photo Guidelines and Application Process
Learn about the photo requirements and application steps for your Ugandan driving permit so you know what to expect during your visit.
Understanding the Photo Size
Face Technologies captures biometric features during the driving-permit process[1]. The source does not specify applicant-supplied photo dimensions, and you do not need to bring a photo from home. A 35 × 45 mm crop is not an official driving-permit requirement.
Studios often use the 35x45 mm size because people ask for it, but the authority publishes no single official size for the application.
The Official Enrolment Process
For a new or full driving permit, the procedure directs applicants to Face Technologies after paying the required fees[1]. Face Technologies captures biometric features and processes the permit[1]. The source does not specify an applicant-supplied photo or photo dimensions.
For a new or full permit, the procedure directs applicants to visit a Face Technologies office in person[1].
Before You Go
Before you go, check the procedure for the forms and payment steps that apply to your permit[1]. The cited procedure does not specify clothing requirements.
Since the office takes the picture, you do not need to print or cut any photos at home for this specific application. Double-check your appointment time and arrive a little early to avoid rushing. Make sure you bring any reference numbers or receipts given during the payment stage.
What to Expect at Face Technologies
When you arrive at the enrollment center, staff will guide you through the steps. They will capture your biometric features on site[1]. You will sit in front of a camera while the technician takes your picture.

If staff members ask you to remove your glasses or headwear, do so to comply with their on-site process.
Using the Tool on This Page
The tool above can still help to rehearse, check a photo, or prepare a copy for other uses. You can use it in your browser to crop personal images to the common 35x45 mm size without uploading your picture anywhere.
