Question 1

What size photo is required for a Seychelles driving licence?

Accepted Answer

Seychelles 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 Seychelles Licensing Authority (SLA), in alignment with standard biometric specifications for the driving licence.

Question 2

What background is required for a Seychelles 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 SLA requires a clean, uniform white background for the driving licence biometric photo. ID Wizard automatically replaces your background with a compliant plain white background.

Question 3

Are glasses allowed in a Seychelles driving licence photo?

Accepted Answer

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

Question 4

How recent must my Seychelles driving licence photo be?

Accepted Answer

Your driving licence photo must have been taken within the last 6 months and must clearly reflect your current appearance. The SLA may reject a photo that does not accurately represent your present appearance. Using a photo older than 6 months may result in your driving licence application being delayed or rejected.

Question 5

Does Seychelles drive on the left?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Seychelles uses left-hand traffic, in common with other former British territories in the Indian Ocean region. The driving licence is issued by the Seychelles Licensing Authority (SLA). A compliant biometric photo is required for the application. Visitors may drive in Seychelles on a valid foreign driving licence for a limited period — always verify current rules with the SLA.

Question 6

Can I use an online photo for my Seychelles driving licence?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Online-produced photos are accepted for driving licence applications in Seychelles, unlike certain German identity documents (such as the Reisepass or Personalausweis) which require photos produced under the BSI PointID framework. ID Wizard produces a 35×45mm JPEG suitable for digital upload or printing before your appointment at the SLA.
