Question 1

What size photo is required for a Brunei driving licence?

Accepted Answer

Brunei driving licence photos must be 35×45mm in colour. The head height from chin to crown should fill approximately 32–36mm of the photo height. The photo must be sharp, in focus, and taken against a plain white background. Requirements are overseen by the Land Transport Department under the Ministry of Transport and Infocommunications of Brunei, in alignment with standard biometric specifications for the driving licence card.

Question 2

What background is required for a Brunei driving licence photo?

Accepted Answer

The background must be plain white. There should be no patterns, objects, shadows, or other people visible in the background. The Land Transport Department of Brunei requires a clean, uniform white background for the driving licence biometric photo. ID Wizard automatically replaces your background with a compliant plain white background.

Question 3

Are online photos accepted for a Brunei driving licence?

Accepted Answer

Online-produced photos are accepted for a Brunei driving licence application. The BSI PointID standard, which restricts digitally produced photos to German identity documents (Reisepass, Personalausweis, Aufenthaltstitel), does not apply in Brunei. You can use a photo produced by ID Wizard for submission to the Land Transport Department of Brunei.

Question 4

Is religious headwear permitted in a Brunei driving licence photo?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Religious headwear — such as a hijab — is permitted in Brunei driving licence photos under ICAO guidelines, provided the full face from chin to forehead is clearly visible. The headwear must not cast shadows over the face or obscure any facial features. This applies to Brunei driving licence applications processed by the Land Transport Department. ID Wizard processes your photo to ensure your face is clearly visible and compliant.

Question 5

Are glasses allowed in a Brunei driving licence photo?

Accepted Answer

No. Glasses are not permitted in Brunei driving licence photos. Biometric guidelines followed by the Land Transport Department prohibit glasses because they can cause reflections and obstruct facial features required for licence card processing. Remove all glasses, including sunglasses and tinted lenses, before taking your photo.

Question 6

Does Brunei drive on the left?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Brunei drives on the left side of the road. Driving in Brunei is regulated by the Land Transport Department under the Ministry of Transport and Infocommunications. Visitors may drive in Brunei using a valid international driving permit (IDP) or a recognised foreign driving licence for a limited period. A valid Brunei driving licence requires a compliant biometric photo. Always verify current requirements with the Land Transport Department before driving.
