Question 1

What size photo is required for a Central African Republic driving licence?

Accepted Answer

Central African Republic (CAR) driving licence (permis de conduire) 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 Ministère des Transports of the Central African Republic, in alignment with standard biometric specifications for driving licences.

Question 2

What background is required for a Central African Republic 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 Ministère des Transports 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 Central African Republic driving licence photo?

Accepted Answer

No. Glasses are not permitted in Central African Republic driving licence photos. Biometric guidelines followed by the Ministère des Transports 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 Central African Republic driving licence application?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Online photos are accepted for driving licence applications in the Central African Republic. Note that the BSI PointID digital submission requirement applies only to German identity documents (Reisepass, Personalausweis, Aufenthaltstitel) and does not apply to CAR driving licences. ID Wizard produces a high-resolution 35×45mm JPEG suitable for digital submission or printing.

Question 5

How recent must my Central African Republic 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 Ministère des Transports may reject a photo that does not accurately represent your present appearance. Using a photo older than 6 months may result in your permis de conduire application being delayed or rejected.

Question 6

How do I apply for a Central African Republic driving licence?

Accepted Answer

Driving licence applications in the Central African Republic are processed through the Ministère des Transports and affiliated testing and licensing centres. You will need to complete the required driving tests, provide a compliant biometric photo, and submit supporting identity documents. The Central African Republic uses right-hand traffic. Always verify current application procedures with the Ministère des Transports before applying, as requirements may be updated.
