Question 1

What size are Greek driving licence photos?

Accepted Answer

Greek driving licence photos must be 35×45mm. This is the standard ICAO format used across most of Europe for driving licences. It is important to note that this is different from the Greek passport, which uses the larger 40×60mm format. Do not use a 40×60mm photo for a Greek driving licence application.

Question 2

Why is the Greek driving licence photo a different size from the Greek passport photo?

Accepted Answer

The Greek passport (and national ID card) follows the Hellenic Police standard of 40×60mm, which is a national specification. Greek driving licences, however, are issued under the Hellenic Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport and follow the standard European 35×45mm format. These are two separate document standards in Greece.

Question 3

Can I use my Greek passport photo (40×60mm) for a driving licence application?

Accepted Answer

No. A 40×60mm Greek passport photo cannot be used for a Greek driving licence. The driving licence requires the standard 35×45mm format. Submitting the wrong size photo will result in rejection. ID Wizard produces the correct 35×45mm format for Greek driving licence applications.

Question 4

What background colour is required for a Greek driving licence photo?

Accepted Answer

The background must be plain white with no patterns, shadows, or other people visible. ID Wizard automatically replaces your background to meet this requirement.

Question 5

Are glasses allowed in a Greek driving licence photo?

Accepted Answer

No. Glasses are not permitted in Greek driving licence photos. Remove any glasses before taking your photo to ensure it will be accepted.

Question 6

What other requirements apply to Greek driving licence photos?

Accepted Answer

In addition to the 35×45mm size and plain white background, the photo must have been taken within the last 6 months. Your expression must be neutral with your mouth closed and eyes open, looking directly at the camera. These requirements are set by the Hellenic Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport (Υπουργείο Υποδομών και Μεταφορών).
