Question 1

What are the photo requirements for a Bangladesh driving licence?

Accepted Answer

Bangladesh driving licence photos must be 35×45mm in colour with a plain white background. The head height (chin to crown) should occupy 70–80% of the photo height. Your expression must be neutral with your mouth closed, eyes open and looking directly at the camera. Glasses are not recommended. The photo must be recent and clearly reflect your current appearance. Requirements are set by the Bangladesh Road Transport Authority (BRTA) at brta.gov.bd.

Question 2

What is a Bangladesh smart driving licence?

Accepted Answer

Bangladesh issues a smart (chip-based) driving licence that stores biometric data electronically. The smart licence conforms to international standards and is processed by the Bangladesh Road Transport Authority (BRTA). A compliant 35×45mm biometric photo with a plain white background is required for the application. Check the official BRTA website (brta.gov.bd) for the latest application procedures.

Question 3

Is a hijab allowed in a Bangladesh driving licence photo?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A hijab or religious head covering is permitted in Bangladesh driving licence photos. The full face must be clearly visible — including the forehead, cheeks, and chin. No shadow should fall across the face from the head covering. A niqab covering the face is not accepted for biometric documents. The requirement is that the full face is unobstructed and clearly visible for identification purposes.

Question 4

Are glasses allowed in a Bangladesh driving licence photo?

Accepted Answer

Glasses are not recommended for Bangladesh driving licence photos. ICAO biometric guidelines, which BRTA follows for smart licence processing, advise against glasses because they can cause reflections and partially obscure facial features. Remove glasses before taking your photo to avoid rejection or delays.

Question 5

Can I submit a digital photo for a BRTA driving licence application?

Accepted Answer

BRTA processes applications including digital photo submissions. ID Wizard produces a high-resolution JPEG at the correct 35×45mm dimensions. For the most current submission procedure — whether digital upload or printed photograph — always check the official BRTA website (brta.gov.bd) before applying.

Question 6

What is the difference between a Bangladesh driving licence photo and a passport photo?

Accepted Answer

Both use the same 35×45mm format with a plain white background and ICAO-compliant biometric standards. The issuing authority differs: BRTA (Bangladesh Road Transport Authority) for driving licences, and DIP (Department of Immigration & Passports) for passports. ID Wizard produces a photo that meets both sets of requirements.
