Question 1

What are the size requirements for a Danish driving licence photo?

Accepted Answer

Danish driving licence (Kørekort) photos must be 35×45mm. The head height from chin to crown must measure between 32 and 36mm, placing the face centrally in the frame. The photo must be in colour, sharp and in focus, with no pixelation. Requirements are set by Færdselsstyrelsen (Danish Road Directorate) in line with ICAO biometric standards.

Question 2

Can I submit a digital photo for a Danish driving licence via borger.dk?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Danish driving licence renewals and applications can be handled digitally through the borger.dk portal. Digital photos must meet the same 35×45mm specifications. There is no requirement for a physical photo stamp from a certified photographer — online photos are accepted. ID Wizard produces a high-resolution JPEG at the correct dimensions, suitable for both digital upload via borger.dk and printing.

Question 3

Are glasses allowed in a Danish driving licence photo?

Accepted Answer

No. Glasses are not permitted in Danish Kørekort photos. Færdselsstyrelsen follows ICAO biometric guidelines, which prohibit glasses because they can cause reflections and obscure the facial features needed for biometric processing. Remove glasses before taking your driving licence photo.

Question 4

What background colour is required for a Danish Kørekort photo?

Accepted Answer

The background must be plain light grey. There should be no patterns, objects, shadows, or other people visible in the background. Some official guidance also accepts plain white. ID Wizard automatically applies a clean light-grey background to your photo to meet the Færdselsstyrelsen standard.

Question 5

How recent must my Danish driving licence photo be?

Accepted Answer

Your photo must accurately represent your current appearance. A Danish driving licence (Kørekort) is valid for 10 years for drivers under 65 and 5 years for drivers aged 65 or over at the time of issue. The photo submitted with your application must have been taken recently. ID Wizard produces your photo immediately, so it will always satisfy the recency requirement.

Question 6

Can the same photo be used for a Danish passport and driving licence?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The photo requirements for the Danish Kørekort and the Danish passport (Pas) are identical: 35×45mm, plain light-grey or white background, head height 32–36mm, neutral expression, no glasses, taken recently. The same photo produced by ID Wizard can be used for both documents, saving you time and cost.
