Question 1

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

Accepted Answer

Romanian driving licence (Permis de Conducere) photos must be 35×45mm. Romania follows ICAO biometric standards for document photos. The head height (chin to crown) must be approximately 28–35mm within the frame. The photo must show the full face with a neutral expression, mouth closed, and eyes open looking directly at the camera. Requirements are set by DRPCIV (Direcția Regim Permise de Conducere și Înmatriculare a Vehiculelor).

Question 2

How do I submit a driving licence photo in Romania?

Accepted Answer

Driving licence applications and renewals in Romania are submitted at SPCLEP (Servicii Publice Comunitare de Evidență a Persoanelor) offices or at DRPCIV locations. Online photos are generally accepted. ID Wizard produces a high-resolution JPEG at the correct 35×45mm dimensions suitable for digital submission or printing at a photo centre for in-person submission.

Question 3

Are glasses allowed in a Romanian driving licence photo?

Accepted Answer

No. DRPCIV follows ICAO biometric guidelines and does not accept photos where glasses are worn. 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 Romanian driving licence photo?

Accepted Answer

The background must be plain white. There must be clear contrast between the background and your face and hair. Patterned, coloured, or grey backgrounds are not accepted for Romanian driving licence applications. Photo quality is strictly assessed by SPCLEP and DRPCIV officers.

Question 5

How recent must my Romanian 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 that no longer accurately reflects your appearance may result in your application being rejected at the SPCLEP or DRPCIV office. ID Wizard produces your photo immediately, so it will always satisfy the recency requirement.

Question 6

Can I use the same photo for my carte de identitate (Romanian national ID)?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The photo requirements for the Romanian carte de identitate (national identity card) are the same as for the driving licence: 35×45mm, plain white background, neutral expression, no glasses, taken within the last 6 months. The same photo produced by ID Wizard can be used for both documents. Confirm the exact head-height tolerance with your local SPCLEP office before submitting.
