Official Requirements for Dutch Driver's License Photos

A driver's license photo serves to identify the applicant of a driver's license. Therefore, when applying for a driver's license, you must submit a color driver's license photo that provides a good likeness of yourself.

To be approved, the driver's license photo must meet all the requirements, unless there are applicable exceptions.

These requirements are based on the official government regulations. Our website checks whether your photo meets the requirements.

Photo Quality Requirements for Dutch Driver's License Photos

The driver's license photo must be a clearness, sharp, and natural representation of your face with balanced contrast and colors.

We use high-quality glossy paper for crisp, high-resolution printing and adhere to a minimum 300 dpi requirement for optimal clarity.

Our service employs advanced software to automatically remove the original background and add a light gray one that enhances contrast with your face and eliminates distractions. This process guarantees an even and monochromatic background without patterns or shadows.

Face Display Requirements for Dutch Driver's License Photos

The full face, including ear attachments, must be clearly visible without obstructions or shadows, ensured through adequate lighting.

Accessories and glasses shouldn't cause reflections or obscure facial features, and headgear is permitted only for specific reasons and must not obstruct the face.

Posture Requirements for Dutch Driver's License Photos

Head and shoulders must be straight and directly facing the camera. Avoid any tilting or angling of the head, as it can hinder facial recognition and potentially lead to application rejection.

If needed, use support device discreetly to maintain the correct posture, ensuring they are not visible in the photo.

Expression Requirements for Dutch Driver's License Photos

It's necessary to maintain a neutral facial expression, avoiding smiles, frowning or having an open mouth.

Aim for a relaxed and natural look, without appearing sad or stern, by relaxing your facial muscles before the photo is taken. Emphasize presenting your genuine self in the photo, without alterations or exaggerations, to facilitate easy and accurate identification.

Glasses Requirements for Dutch Driver's License Photos

For driver's license photos, it is essential that glasses do not obstruct a clear view of your eyes, and reflections or glare are minimized.

It is advised to adjust your position or the light source to prevent glare on the lenses. If necessary, remove glasses to ensure that your eyes are fully visible and your face is clearly identifiable.

Lighting Requirements for Dutch Driver's License Photos

Even distribution of lighting on both the face and background is vital in driver's license photos to prevent underexposure, overexposure, and reflections.

White spots on the face, often resulting from flash or artificial light usage, should be avoided as they can cause issues like glare or uneven lighting.

It's essential to maintain natural color tones and correct color balance, ensuring a realistic and undistorted representation in the photo.

Positioning Requirements for Dutch Driver's License Photos

When taking a driver's license photo, positioning your face correctly within the frame is critical. Ensure your face is centered and fully visible in the frame, even if large hairstyles aren't completely shown. Our website automatically adjusts your photo to the correct size and format.

Photo was not accepted at the town hall. I could understand why, as the photo was darker than the one uploaded. I found it quite disappointing; I don't need a refund, but I wouldn't recommend it further either.
