A UK driving licence photo must follow DVLA rules: it has to be colour, sharp, and show the full face with a neutral expression. The driver should look straight at the camera, mouth closed, eyes open, and without smiling. The background must be plain and light, such as cream or grey, with no patterns or shadows. Glasses are fine if eyes remain visible, but tinted lenses and glare are not accepted. Religious or medical head coverings are allowed, but everyday hats are not. Hair and beards are acceptable if they do not block the eyes. The required size is 35×45 mm, with the head filling about 70–80% of the image. Both digital and printed photos are valid if they meet these standards.
