About this photo
A Quebec Driver's Licence photo for the SAAQ is 50 by 70 mm when printed. Neutral expression, eyes open, mouth closed, looking straight at the camera. Use a plain white background with nothing behind you and no shadow on the wall. The SAAQ takes your photo at the counter when you apply, so a photo of your own is usually not needed for this document. Head height from chin to crown is 49 to 56 mm. Applications are made with printed photos, so you need a physical copy rather than an upload. Upload your picture and we size it for the Quebec Driver's Licence, replace the background and verify the proportions before checkout.
