About this photo

A Singapore Taxi and Private Hire Vocational Licence photo for the Land Transport Authority (LTA) is 35 by 45 mm when printed. Behind you: plain white, lit evenly so no shadow falls on the face or the wall. Home photos are accepted when they follow the rules, so a well-lit phone picture taken by someone else works. A passport-sized photo is uploaded on GoBusiness with the TDVL or PDVL application; no pixel specification is published. Online, Land Transport Authority (LTA) online application takes an upload as a JPEG. Head height from chin to crown is 32 to 36 mm. We make the Singapore Taxi and Private Hire Vocational Licence photo to this specification from your own picture and show you the result before you pay.
