About this photo

The VicRoads asks for a Victorian Driver Licence photo of 35 by 45 mm. Applications are made with printed photos, so you need a physical copy rather than an upload. The background must be plain white or light grey or off-white, evenly lit and free of shadows. The VicRoads takes your photo at the counter when you apply, so a photo of your own is usually not needed for this document. Frame it so the head takes 32 to 36 mm of the 45 mm height. Neutral expression, eyes open, mouth closed, looking straight at the camera. We crop your picture to the Victorian Driver Licence format, set the background and check the head size before you pay.
