Question 1

What size photo is required for a Bahamas driving licence?

Accepted Answer

Bahamas 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 Road Traffic Department under the Ministry of Transport of the Bahamas, in line with standard biometric specifications for driving licence cards.

Question 2

What background is required for a Bahamas 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 Road Traffic Department of the Bahamas 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 glasses allowed in a Bahamas driving licence photo?

Accepted Answer

No. Glasses are not permitted in Bahamas driving licence photos. Biometric guidelines followed by the Road Traffic 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 4

Can I use an online photo for my Bahamas driving licence application?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Online-produced photos are accepted for Bahamas driving licence applications. Note that the BSI PointID online-photo restriction applies only to German identity documents (Reisepass, Personalausweis, Aufenthaltstitel) and does not affect Bahamas driving licences. You can upload the photo produced by ID Wizard directly or print it for submission at a Road Traffic Department office.

Question 5

How recent must my Bahamas driving licence photo be?

Accepted Answer

Your driving licence photo must have been taken within the last 6 months and must clearly reflect your current appearance. The Road Traffic Department may reject a photo that does not accurately represent your present appearance. Using a photo older than 6 months may result in your driving licence application being delayed or rejected.

Question 6

How do I apply for a Bahamas driving licence?

Accepted Answer

Driving licence applications in the Bahamas are processed through the Road Traffic Department under the Ministry of Transport. You will need to pass the required driving tests, provide a compliant biometric photo, and submit supporting identity documents. Always verify current procedures with the Road Traffic Department before applying, as requirements may be updated.
