HOW TO USE IDPHOTODIY TO CREATE AN IRELAND SPSV DRIVER LICENCE PHOTO ONLINE

Step 1: Take a clear passport photo

Use a smartphone or digital camera to take your passport size photo. Ask another person to take the picture so the camera remains level and your face is shown directly from the front.

Make sure your head and shoulders are visible, with enough space around them for the photo to be cropped correctly.

Step 2: Upload your photo to the passport photo maker

Select the original image from your phone, tablet or computer. Avoid screenshots, heavily compressed images and scanned printed photos because they may produce a lower-quality result.

Step 3: Create your passport size photo online

Use the IDPhotoDIY passport photo maker to crop and resize the image to approximately 7 cm wide × 10 cm high.

The passport photo maker can prepare a printable digital file for your Ireland SPSV Driver Licence or Taxi Licence application.

Step 4: Print three identical photos

Download the finished photo and print colour copies on suitable photo paper.

Check that every printed photo is clear, correctly sized and free from marks, lines or printing defects.
