The patente di guida uses a standard 35×45 mm portrait. Our check validates your photo against each parameter below.
The Italian driving licence (patente di guida) is a plastic card in the EU format that lets you drive on public roads in Italy and is often asked for as proof of identity. It comes in categories such as A (motorcycles), B (cars), C (trucks) and D (buses).
The rules for the patente are set out in the ministry circular of 20 October 2016, n. 23176. Our tool uses the same specs: a 35×45 mm colour portrait on a plain light grey background. Professionals can check a file on the Portale dell'Automobilista photo check page.
The same photo works on paper and online. Print it at 600 DPI and cut it to 35×45 mm, or upload the digital file, which our tool keeps under 35 KB.
You may need one when you apply for your first Italian driving licence, when you renew it, when you replace a lost or stolen card, and when you convert a foreign permit. For other documents see the ID card and passport pages.
