Chad Driving Licence Photo (ANATS permis de conduire: one colour 4 x 4 cm photo): size and requirements
The Chad Driving Licence Photo size is 40 x 40 mm (1.57 x 1.57 inches). Not published; white is our rendering choice; head 70 to 80 percent of the photo height. Photo taken within the last 6 months. Last verified 2026-10-10 against Agence Nationale des Titres Sécurisés (ANATS), République du Tchad - 'Permis de conduire & Immatriculation - Pièces à fournir' (renewal and replacement lists), with the ICAO Doc 9303 Part 3 head band.
For the renewal or replacement of a Chadian driving licence (permis de conduire) at an ANATS centre, whose lists include 'Une photo 4x4 couleur': one colour 40 x 40 mm print with the population-register extract, the old or provisional licence, a blood-group certificate and the payment receipt. The head band and background are the ICAO reference because the ANATS publishes none. Not for a first licence after the driving test (no list published) and not for vehicle registration (no photo).

What trips people up
- CheckRenewal file ('Pour un renouvellement de permis'): 'Copie de l'extrait de registre de la population', 'Copie de l'ancien permis ou du permis provisoire expiré', 'Une photo 4x4 couleur', 'Bulletin de registre sanguin' (blood group certificate) and 'Une quittance de paiement selon la tarification en vigueur'.
- CheckReplacement ('Pour un remplacement de permis'): the same five items plus 'Si le permis est perdu ou volé : Déclaration de perte ou de vol' or, for any other reason, the licence itself or another appropriate proof.
- CheckOnly renewals and replacements are listed under 'Permis de conduire & Immatriculation'; the first licence after the driving test has no list on the site, so ask the centre or driving school what photo it wants.
- CheckVehicle registration (certificat d'immatriculation, carte grise) lists customs papers and the NNI extract, no photograph.
- CheckSquare format: 4 x 4 cm, one colour print. No background, head size or expression rule is published; white, 70-80 per cent head band and six months are ICAO Doc 9303 defaults, flagged as ours.
Good to know before you pay
A colour 4 x 4 cm print from a local counter satisfies the list; use ours to make one from a phone photo.
