The official Switzerland driving licence photo sheet covers more than the size. The background must be plain, even and neutral, free of shadows, and clearly separated from your head. Keep a neutral expression with your mouth closed. Both eyes must be open, level with each other and clearly visible — including when you wear glasses. Head coverings are allowed only for religious or medical reasons, with your face fully visible. The photo must have been taken within the last year.
