Licence Picture

Your licence photo:

A current photograph is required for the submission of all new licence applications and where the photograph on your licence to be renewed is no longer an accurate likeness.

If you have scanned a hard copy passport photograph make sure you have only scanned one photograph not the panel of six or eight images.

Alternatively you can take a photograph of yourself using a digital camera or your phone and load it onto your computer to upload into your application. The online form has an editing tool that allows you to crop the photograph to frame your head and shoulders.

To be considered passport quality a photograph needs to:

• have a plain, light coloured background
• be of your head and top of your shoulders
• show you looking straight at the camera
• be no more than six months old
• be close up, clear and in sharp focus; and
• clearly show your face and eyes - no hat or glasses.

Uploading the licence photo:

Your licence photo should be saved to your computer as any valid image format.

Once your photograph has been uploaded, you can click the "Edit" button to resize your photograph as required. Simply adjust the dimensions and use the handles on the cropping square to position the photograph. Once you are happy with the position of the cropping square click "Update".

If you want to start again the "Remove" button will delete the image.
