UAE Driving License Photo

The required photo size for a Dubai driving license is 40mm in width x 60mm in height. The photo must have a plain gray background, with the applicant facing forward, eyes open, and no accessories (e.g., hats or headphones) obscuring facial features. Ensure the image is clear, well-lit, and meets a resolution of 300dpi for optimal quality. For additional guidelines, such as attire and formatting, visit our Dubai Driver’s License Photo Guide to ensure compliance with local regulations.

Yes, visitors holding a valid U.S. driving license can drive in the UAE for short-term stays without needing an International Driving Permit (IDP) in most cases. The UAE recognizes licenses from the U.S. and 40+ other countries for tourists. However: 1. Residents: UAE residents (e.g., holding a residence visa) must obtain a UAE driver’s license and cannot use foreign licenses. 2. License Validity: The U.S. license must be valid, unendorsed, and held for at least one year. 3. Emirate-Specific Rules: Some emirates may require additional documentation; verify local regulations before travel. This policy applies to short-term visitors only. For long-term stays or residency, apply for a UAE license through a driving institute after passing required tests
