FAQ
What size is a German driving licence (Führerschein) photo?
A German driving licence photo must be 35 mm wide and 45 mm tall — the same biometric size as a German passport or ID card photo. The face must fill 70–80% of the image height.
Is a Führerschein photo the same as a passport photo?
Yes. The size and biometric requirements are identical — 35×45 mm, light grey or white background, no glasses, face centered and covering 70–80% of the image. You can use the same photo for your Führerschein and Personalausweis.
Where do I apply for a German driving licence?
German driving licence applications and renewals are handled by the Fahrerlaubnisbehörde at your local Landratsamt or Bürgeramt. You must submit a printed biometric photo with your application.
Does my photo get uploaded to your server?
No. All processing happens locally in your browser. Your photo never leaves your device.
Is the tool free?
Yes — 100% free, no account required.
Where can I print a Führerschein photo in Germany?
Take the print sheet to DM, Rossmann, or a local Fotostudio. A standard 10×15 cm print gives you four correctly sized 35×45 mm photos.
Can I wear glasses in a German driving licence photo?
No. Glasses are not permitted in any German biometric document photo, including the driving licence, passport, and ID card.
