Important update from the Ministry of Transport about photos on driving licenses

Drivers who hold a driver's license and wish to perform one of the following actions:

• Issuance of an international driving license
• Ordering a duplicate driver's license (due to loss or theft)
• Reissue of driver's license
• Adding a new driver's license category
• Renewal or issuance of a boating license

They will now be required to have their photo taken at the official supplier, and it will not be possible to rely on the photo taken in the past. This change stems from a required change in the office's systems, to ensure the security of all of our information.
Please note, an international license cannot be issued through a proxy.

This applies to drivers up to the age of 70
