Question 1

What size photo is required for a Guyana driving licence?

Accepted Answer

Guyana 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 Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA) Licensing Division, which handles driver licensing in Guyana.

Question 2

What background is required for a Guyana 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 GRA Licensing Division requires a clean, uniform white background for the driving licence photo. ID Wizard automatically replaces your background with a compliant plain white background.

Question 3

Are glasses allowed in a Guyana driving licence photo?

Accepted Answer

No. Glasses are not permitted in Guyana driving licence photos. Biometric photo guidelines followed by the GRA Licensing Division prohibit glasses because they can cause reflections and obstruct facial features required for licence processing. Remove all glasses, including sunglasses and tinted lenses, before taking your photo.

Question 4

Does Guyana drive on the left or the right?

Accepted Answer

Guyana drives on the left-hand side of the road, a legacy of its British colonial history and consistent with other Commonwealth Caribbean nations such as Trinidad and Tobago and Barbados. When driving in neighbouring countries such as Suriname (right-hand traffic) or Brazil (right-hand traffic), drivers should be aware of different traffic rules.

Question 5

Can I submit an online photo for my Guyana driving licence application?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Online-sourced photos are accepted for Guyana driving licence applications submitted through the GRA Licensing Division, provided they meet the required specifications: 35×45mm, plain white background, neutral expression, no glasses, eyes open, taken within the last 6 months. Note: the BSI PointID requirement for certified photo sources applies only to German Reisepass, Personalausweis, and Aufenthaltstitel — it does not apply to Guyana driving licences.

Question 6

How do I apply for a Guyana driving licence?

Accepted Answer

Driving licence applications in Guyana are handled by the Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA) Licensing Division. You will need to pass the required driving tests, provide a compliant photo, and submit supporting identity documents such as your national ID or passport. Always verify current procedures and requirements with the GRA Licensing Division before applying, as requirements may be updated.
