What photo the DGT asks for
From the DGT’s renewal page, checked on 24 Oct 2026.
- An original, current photograph, 32 × 26 mm (height × width).
- In colour, with a plain background.
- Taken from the front with your head uncovered.
- Veils for religious reasons are accepted if the whole face oval is visible, from hairline to chin.
Do you need a photo to renew?
Often not. Since 6 November 2024 the DGT no longer asks for the talón-foto or photos in procedures where it already has them.
If you renew at a medical-check centre (centro de reconocimiento de conductores), they take the photo there and you sign the application.
You do need a 32 × 26 mm photo if you renew from abroad (at the consulate you fill in the talón-foto with the photo you bring), if you renew a farm-vehicle (LVA) or reduced-mobility vehicle (LCM) licence, or if the DGT calls you in to hand one over.

Frequently asked questions
What is the DGT talón-foto?
The form you stick your photo on and sign, which goes with the application. Since November 2024 you don’t have to hand it in when the DGT already has your photo; at a consulate abroad you still fill it in with the photo you bring.
Is the medical-check photo the one on my licence?
If you renew at a medical-check centre, they take the photo there for your application, so you don’t need to bring one.
Is it the same size as the DNI photo?
Yes: 32 × 26 mm (height × width), colour and a plain background, like the DNI photo. The same photo file works for both.
Can I make it for free?
Yes: cropping it to licence size is free and doesn’t change the background or check the photo. The checked photo costs from €7.99, and you only pay if you like the result.
