Documents Covered for Andorra
This page covers several official documents issued in Andorra. You will find precise guidelines for the Andorran passport photo, Andorran child passport photo, Andorran driving licence photo, Andorran residence and work permit photo, and Andorran hunting permit photo.
Each application has distinct rules that you must follow carefully to avoid rejection by government offices. Knowing the exact dimensions, background expectations, and submission methods before you start saves you significant time and effort.
Passport and Child Passport Rules
For an Andorran passport, the photo is usually taken at the government service office[1][2]. Children under six and people who cannot use the photo booth may submit a 35×45 mm photo[1][2].
The cited rules do not set a head-height measurement[1][2]. A printed photo is required only for applicants who qualify for the photo-submission exception[1][2].
Driving Licence and Permit Specifications
When you apply for your driving credentials, your Andorran driving licence photo must measure 35×45 mm[3]. The government does not set a specific head height requirement for this driving document[3]. You must provide a printed copy for your licence application[3].
Similarly, an Andorran residence and work permit photo requires a 35×45 mm physical print[4]. The head height for the residence and work permit is also not set by the rules[4]. Always check that your face is fully visible without any hair covering your eyes or forehead.
Hunting Permit Guidelines
If you need an Andorran hunting permit photo, the application process is slightly different. There is no single official size set by the authorities for this specific permit, but 35×45 mm is a common size used by applicants[5].
Unlike standard passport applications, you can submit hunting permit photos as both printed or digital formats[5]. Always check your specific application paperwork to confirm whether a digital upload or a physical print is requested by the department.
Practical Tips for Taking Your Photo
You do not need an expensive professional studio to take a valid identification photo at home. Stand facing a bright window to get natural, even lighting on your face and avoid harsh shadows under your chin. Ask a friend or family member to take the picture instead of taking a selfie with a front-facing camera lens.
Keep the camera at your exact eye level and stand about one to one and a half meters away from the device. Maintain a neutral facial expression with your mouth closed, keep your eyes wide open, and look straight ahead at the camera.
Formatting and Printing Your Photos
Official government offices reject photos that have poor lighting, shadows, glare on glasses, or incorrect dimensions. You can use the tool above to crop your image to the correct 35×45 mm dimensions right inside your web browser. Your photo stays entirely on your device to protect your personal privacy.
Once your picture is cropped properly, you can place it on a standard 4×6-inch photo sheet and print it out at any local photo kiosk or home printer.
