[Make this photo](https://abox.tools/id-photo/#vn-driving-licence) Opens the photo tool with this rule already chosen. It runs in your browser: the photograph is never uploaded, and there is no account and no watermark.
## What else this rule says
- For exchanging or replacing a licence online: a 3 x 4 cm photograph on white — the police portal says white, whatever a provincial page says about blue — of at least 473 x 630 pixels and 700 KB at most. Avoid white and black clothes, keep the head within five degrees of upright, and take thick-rimmed or dark glasses off.
- No head-height band is published for this one, and its frame is not the usual one, so ICAO’s figures do not carry over. The band shown is a loose one read out of what the rule says in words; it is guidance and is never marked as a failure.
## Where these figures come from
Transcribed from Cục Cảnh sát giao thông, Bộ Công an — Cổng dịch vụ công cấp đổi, cấp lại giấy phép lái xe. Checked 2026-09-21. Rules change; the figures above are what to check against the form in front of you.
## What the tool does with them
- Locks the crop to this document’s shape, and draws the head and eye bands inside it, so you can see the rule on your own photograph instead of reading about it.
- Finds the crown, the chin and both pupils by measuring the picture — no face model is downloaded — and says in millimetres whether the head is too large or too small for this rule.
- Reads the background colour and how evenly it is lit, and says which of the two is the problem when there is one.
- Writes the print at the exact millimetres with the resolution in the file, a sheet of them with cut marks, and the upload file at the pixel and file size this rule states.
