Germany Driving Licence Photo FAQ
Yes. Since 2010, all German identification documents — including the Führerschein (driving licence) — must use biometric photos that meet the same standards as passport photos: 35x45mm, light grey background, neutral expression, no glasses.
You can get a biometric photo at any photo studio (Fotostudio), photo booth (Fotoautomat) at public offices, or create one online with our tool and print it yourself. The photo must meet ISO/IEC 19794-5 biometric standards.
No. Since 2017, glasses are not allowed in German biometric photos — for both passports and driving licences. This applies even if you need glasses to drive. The restriction exists to improve facial recognition accuracy.
A plain, uniform light grey background is required. The background must be free of patterns, shadows, and other objects. Our tool automatically replaces the background to meet German biometric standards.
At a professional photo studio in Germany, biometric photos typically cost €10-15 for a set. Photo booths at public offices charge around €5-8. With our online tool, you can create a compliant photo from home.
