Tips for taking your own biometric photos
Follow these steps to get the best results
Mind the distance
Pose 4–6 feet (1–2 meters) from the camera. Use a timer to take your photo or have someone snap it for you.
Face the camera directly
Keep your head straight. Avoid tilting your body or looking away. Remember: portrait mode is not suitable for any ID photos.
Ensure good lighting
Take your photos in daylight e.g., next to a bright window. Shadows on your face or in the background are not allowed.

Where can I get a photo for my driving licence?
Most photo booths have the right settings for driving licence pictures. You may find one in most shopping centres or transport hubs in your city. Additionally, you may want to check chain stores around you: stores like Tesco, Sainsbury’s, or Boots often have booths that take driving licence photos, both printed and digital.
If you want to take a picture for your licence without leaving home, use our driving licence photo app. With just your smartphone, you’ll be able to get perfect results—no need to set up or use professional equipment.
Can I use my passport photo for my driving licence?
The requirements for a UK passport photo and a UK driving licence photo are the same. If you still have a spare passport picture taken less than 1 month ago, you can go ahead and use it to apply for a driving licence.
Can I get a driving licence photo online?
Absolutely! Just take a photo with a smartphone or a digital camera, upload it to our app, and select the UK driving licence. The AI software will immediately adapt it to the required size and seamlessly remove the background.
In addition, our experts will double-check every single detail, making sure that all the official requirements are met to the letter. This way, you’ll get a 100% guarantee of compliance.
How do I get a driving licence photo near me?
