Question 1

What size photo is required for a Tuvalu driving licence?

Accepted Answer

Tuvalu 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 Land Transport Division under the Ministry of Communications of Tuvalu, in alignment with standard biometric specifications for driving licences.

Question 2

Does Tuvalu drive on the left or the right?

Accepted Answer

Tuvalu drives on the left. This is consistent with its Commonwealth heritage and Pacific Island neighbours such as Australia and Fiji. A valid Tuvalu driving licence with a compliant biometric photo is required when driving locally.

Question 3

Can I submit an online photo for my Tuvalu driving licence?

Accepted Answer

Online photos are generally accepted for Tuvalu driving licence applications. The BSI PointID certification requirement applies only to German Reisepass, Personalausweis, and Aufenthaltstitel — it does not apply to Tuvalu driving licences. ID Wizard produces a high-resolution JPEG suitable for both digital submission and printing.

Question 4

Are glasses allowed in a Tuvalu driving licence photo?

Accepted Answer

No. Glasses are not permitted in Tuvalu driving licence photos. Biometric guidelines followed by the Land Transport Division 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 5

What background is required for a Tuvalu 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 Land Transport Division 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 6

How do I apply for a Tuvalu driving licence?

Accepted Answer

Driving licence applications in Tuvalu are processed through the Land Transport Division under the Ministry of Communications. You will need to complete the required driving tests, provide a compliant biometric photo, and submit supporting identity documents. Always verify current procedures with the Land Transport Division before applying, as requirements may be updated.
