Mozambican Driver's License Photo

Photographs in Mozambique’s Foreign-Licence Exchange File

INATRO identifies itself as the authority responsible for issuing driving licences in Mozambique. Its foreign-licence exchange checklist specifically asks for two passport-style photographs, together with the existing licence, completed application, criminal-record certificate and medical certificate. The pictures attach a current face to the driving entitlement being considered for conversion.

The exchange procedure also calls for authentication of the foreign licence by the relevant embassy and an official Portuguese translation where needed. INATRO distinguishes the examination position for countries covered by mutual recognition. These points concern the underlying entitlement, so a suitable photo does not by itself establish that a foreign licence can be exchanged without further assessment.

Prepare matching prints showing a recognisable likeness, with attention to photo quality, framing, background and facial expression. Our portrait guide helps with the face image, while the detailed specifications below cover its visual presentation. Use the embassy and consulate directory when organising the authentication component and keep the photographs with the correct identity documents. The cited two-photo requirement is for foreign-licence exchange; a first licence, replacement or change of recorded details should follow its own INATRO instructions. For a resident of Mozambique converting an existing entitlement, organising these different parts together helps prevent an otherwise complete exchange file from being held up by a missing or unsuitable portrait.
