Question 1

What size does an Albanian driving licence photo need to be?

Accepted Answer

Albanian driving licence photos must be 35×45mm, following the ICAO biometric standard. The head height from chin to crown must be approximately 32–36mm within the frame. The photo must show the full face with a neutral expression, mouth closed, and eyes open looking directly at the camera. Requirements are set by DPSHTRR (Drejtoria e Përgjithshme e Shërbimeve të Transportit Rrugor — General Directorate of Road Transport Services).

Question 2

What background colour is required for an Albanian driving licence photo?

Accepted Answer

The background must be plain white. There must be clear contrast between the background and your face and hair. Albania has aligned its driving licence card format with EU standards, requiring an ICAO-compliant biometric photo with a plain white background.

Question 3

Are glasses allowed in an Albanian driving licence photo?

Accepted Answer

No. DPSHTRR follows ICAO biometric guidelines, which do not permit glasses in driving licence photos. Glasses can cause reflections and obscure facial features required for biometric processing. Remove your glasses before taking your driving licence photo.

Question 4

Is a hijab or head covering allowed in an Albanian driving licence photo?

Accepted Answer

A hijab or other religious head covering may be worn, provided the full face is clearly visible from forehead to chin and from ear to ear. No part of the face may be obscured. The plain white background must remain visible and in clear contrast with the face and covering.

Question 5

How recent must my Albanian driving licence photo be?

Accepted Answer

Your photo must have been taken within the last 6 months at the time of submission and must accurately represent your current appearance. ID Wizard produces your photo immediately, so it will always satisfy the recency requirement.

Question 6

Can I take my Albanian driving licence photo at home?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can photograph yourself at home using a smartphone or digital camera, provided the result meets DPSHTRR requirements: correct lighting, plain white background, front-facing, no glasses, neutral expression. ID Wizard processes your home photo to produce a correctly formatted 35×45mm biometric JPEG ready for submission at a DPSHTRR office.
