What these millimetres work out to
- In a 40 × 50 mm frame a head band of 70–80% is 35–40 mm from the chin to the crown.
- Of the 50 mm of height that leaves 10–15 mm for the gap above the crown and the space below the chin together.
- At 300 dpi that is a head 413–472 pixels tall — below 413 px the file is too small to print, however good the crop is.
- Against the European 35 × 45 mm standard this frame is 1.14 times as wide, 1.11 times as tall and 1.27 times the area — a photo cut for one of the two cannot be reused for the other.
How to crop it, in three steps
- 01
Upload a photo taken face-on, in even light
- 02
The tool finds the face and aligns the frame itself — check that the head lands in 70–80%
- 03
Save the 40 × 50 mm result — print it or attach it to the application
Do not confuse it with another Albania document
Albania does not use one frame for everything. This page is about driver's license — 40 × 50 mm. The documents below are cut to a different size, so a file prepared here will not fit them.

What we fix for free, and what AI fixes
Fixed for free
- Background. Replaced with the one this document asks for: plain light background without textures or noticeable gradients.
- Head tilt. Straightened if the head leans slightly to one side.
- Frame. Exactly 40 × 50 mm, by the document’s rules.
- A light shadow on one side of the face. Gently brightened.
- File and print sheet. A file to the document’s rules and a 10 × 15 or A4 sheet to print.
What can't be fixed for free, AI correction fixes
- Hard shadows and uneven light on the face.
- A smile, raised brows or a half-open mouth. Cropping keeps the face it was given.
- Too few pixels. If the original is smaller than 472 × 591 px, enlarging it only blurs the face.
- Clothing and pose. Shoulders out of frame, body turned away from the camera.
Glare on the lenses. Take the glasses off or turn away from the light source and shoot again.
Why these photos get rejected — and how to fix each one
Albania-specific things to know
- Albania names the driving-licence photograph as 4 × 5 cm — larger than the ICAO 35 × 45 mm — two pieces for a first licence and one for the international permit.
- The medical certificate must carry its own photograph and be dated no earlier than six months before registration.
Printing on a single sheet
3 × 2 frames fit on one 10×15 cm sheet — 6 copies from a single print.
Print at 100% scale, borderless, and turn off fit-to-page so each photo keeps its exact size.

What the source confirms
- ADISA, information card AL097002, obtaining a driving licence of category A1, A2, B1 or B for the first time: the citizen must be over 18; documents for an Albanian citizen — an identification document (identity card) from the Civil Registry Office; two colour photographs of 4 × 5 cm from the applicant; a medical certificate with a photograph from the medical ambulance, dated no earlier than 6 months from the date of registration; proof of the first-aid course from the Albanian Red Cross (only when the candidate enters the theory test for the first time); the payment order from the regional directorates of road transport services.
- Same card, a foreign citizen: a notarised copy of the residence permit; the payment order; a translated and notarised copy of the passport; the medical certificate with a photograph dated no earlier than 6 months; the first-aid proof (first-time theory test only); two colour photographs of 4 × 5 cm; the card lists the receiving offices by city.
- DPSHTRR, international driving permit: the national driving licence, an identity document (for foreigners a passport translated and notarised and a valid residence permit), one colour photograph of 4 × 5 cm; the fee is 1,000 lek; the permit is issued at once at the service counter and is valid 3 years — if the national licence has a shorter validity, the international permit takes the same validity.
