Question 1

What size does a Hungarian driving licence photo need to be?

Accepted Answer

Hungarian driving licence (jogosítvány) photos must be 35×45mm. Hungary follows ICAO biometric standards, meaning the head height (chin to crown) must be approximately 32–36mm within the frame. The photo must show the full face with a neutral expression, mouth closed, and eyes open looking directly at the camera.

Question 2

Can I submit a digital driving licence photo in Hungary via Ügyfélkapu?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Driving licence applications and renewals in Hungary can be submitted digitally through the Ügyfélkapu online government portal or in person at a Kormányablak (Government Window) service office. Unlike some countries, Hungary does not require a stamped photo from a certified photographer — digital photos meeting the specification are accepted. ID Wizard produces a high-resolution JPEG at the correct 35×45mm dimensions, suitable for both digital upload and printing.

Question 3

Are glasses allowed in a Hungarian driving licence photo?

Accepted Answer

No. Hungary follows ICAO biometric guidelines, which prohibit glasses in official document photos. Glasses can cause reflections and obscure facial features required for biometric processing. Remove your glasses before taking your driving licence photo.

Question 4

What background is required for a Hungarian driving licence photo?

Accepted Answer

The background must be plain white or light grey. There must be adequate contrast between the background and your face and hair. Patterned, coloured, or dark backgrounds are not accepted. ID Wizard automatically applies a clean white background to your photo.

Question 5

How recent must my Hungarian driving licence photo be?

Accepted Answer

Your photo must have been taken within the last 6 months at the time of submission. Using an older photo may result in your application being rejected. ID Wizard produces your photo immediately, so it will always satisfy the recency requirement.

Question 6

Can I use the same photo for my jogosítvány and személyi igazolvány?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The photo requirements for the Hungarian személyi igazolvány (national ID card) are identical to those for the driving licence (jogosítvány): 35×45mm, plain white or light grey background, head height 32–36mm, neutral expression, no glasses, taken within 6 months. One photo produced by ID Wizard works for both documents.
