Photo for a Danish driving licence
A Danish driving licence uses the same photo format as a passport: 35 × 45 mm with a plain light background. The photo must be recent and look like you, as it is used for identification for many years.
Same rules as a passport photo
The face must be frontal with a neutral expression, closed mouth and open eyes. Avoid headwear unless worn for religious or medical reasons, and avoid reflections in glasses.
Check how your municipality accepts photos
Some citizen service centres take the photo themselves or have specific submission rules. Contact your municipality before ordering prints.
