Question 1

What size is required for an Egyptian driving licence photo?

Accepted Answer

Egyptian driving licence photos must be 35×45mm (width × height). The head should be centred and fill approximately 70–80% of the frame height, with the face clearly visible. The photo must be in colour, recent, and meet biometric standards. Requirements are set by the Traffic Authority (هيئة المرور) under the General Traffic Department.

Question 2

What background is required for an Egyptian driving licence photo?

Accepted Answer

The background must be plain white. There should be no patterns, shadows, objects, or other people visible. ID Wizard automatically replaces your background with a compliant plain white background.

Question 3

Are glasses allowed in an Egyptian driving licence photo?

Accepted Answer

No. Glasses are not permitted in Egyptian driving licence photos. The Traffic Authority follows biometric identification standards that prohibit glasses because reflections can obscure facial features. Remove all glasses before taking your photo.

Question 4

Are women allowed to wear a hijab in an Egyptian driving licence photo?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Women wearing a hijab are permitted, provided the full face is clearly visible from hairline to chin and from ear to ear. The hijab must not cast shadows on the face or obscure any facial features. The same requirement applies as for the Egyptian passport and National ID.

Question 5

How do I apply for or renew an Egyptian driving licence?

Accepted Answer

Egyptian driving licence applications and renewals are processed through the General Traffic Department offices (مرور) across Egypt. A printed 35×45mm colour photo is typically required along with other documents. Some services may be available through the Ministry of Interior online portal. Always confirm the latest requirements with your local traffic office before attending.

Question 6

How recent must an Egyptian driving licence photo be?

Accepted Answer

Your photo must accurately represent your current appearance and should have been taken recently. A new compliant photo is required when applying for or renewing your Egyptian driving licence. Always confirm current recency requirements with your local General Traffic Department office.
