About this photo
For a NT Evidence of Age Card photo, the NT Motor Vehicle Registry sets the print size at 35 x 45 mm. Frame it so the head takes 32 to 36 mm of the 45 mm height. This one is still a paper process, which means printed photos and no online upload. The Motor Vehicle Registry takes your photo to complete the application. Behind you: plain white or light grey or off-white, lit evenly so no shadow falls on the face or the wall. The NT Motor Vehicle Registry takes your photo at the counter when you apply, so a photo of your own is usually not needed for this document. Send us any clear picture and you get a NT Evidence of Age Card photo at these measurements, background included, checked before checkout.
