Question 1

How do I submit my driving licence photo via SingPass?

Accepted Answer

Singapore driving licence applications and renewals can be submitted through MyTransport.sg using your SingPass login. During the online application, you will be prompted to upload a recent colour photograph meeting Traffic Police (TP) specifications. The photo must be in JPEG format and within the required dimensions before upload.

Question 2

What are the photo specifications for a Singapore driving licence?

Accepted Answer

The Traffic Police requires a colour photograph of 35×45mm with a plain white background only. The head height (chin to crown) must be between 25 and 35mm. Your expression must be neutral with your mouth closed, eyes open, and looking directly at the camera. The photo must be taken recently.

Question 3

Are glasses allowed in a Singapore driving licence photo?

Accepted Answer

No. Glasses are not permitted in Singapore driving licence photos. This aligns with ICAO biometric guidelines followed by the Traffic Police. Remove glasses before taking your photo to ensure it is accepted.

Question 4

Must the background be white — can it be light grey?

Accepted Answer

For a Singapore driving licence photo the background must be plain white only. Unlike some other countries that accept very light grey, the Traffic Police specification requires a white background. ID Wizard automatically replaces your background with the correct plain white colour.

Question 5

How recent does my Singapore driving licence photo need to be?

Accepted Answer

Your photograph should be recent and accurately represent your current appearance. While the Traffic Police does not always state a fixed maximum age, submitting a photo taken within the last six months is strongly recommended to avoid rejection.

Question 6

How does a Singapore driving licence photo differ from a passport photo?

Accepted Answer

Both require a 35×45mm colour photo with a plain white background and ICAO-compliant biometric standards. The key difference is the issuing authority and portal: driving licences are processed by the Traffic Police via MyTransport.sg, while passports are issued by ICA. The photo requirements are otherwise closely aligned.
