About Denmark Passport Photo Requirements
Danish passport photos are specified by Rigspolitiet (the National Police of Denmark). The 35x45mm format requires a light grey background — Denmark prefers grey to white, distinguishing it from countries like Sweden which accept various light backgrounds. Glasses are not permitted in Danish passport photos.
Expression must be completely neutral with the mouth closed and both eyes open. The face from chin to crown must occupy 70-80% of the photo height. Photos must have been taken within the last 6 months and show your current appearance. The same specifications apply to the Danish national ID card (kørekort/ID).
Danish passport applications are submitted at your local borgerservice (citizen service centre) or Politiets Pas & Kørekort office. The online application system (borger.dk) accepts digital photo uploads. Danish citizens abroad apply at the nearest Danish embassy or consulate.
Common Mistakes in Danish Passport Photos
Wearing glasses
Rigspolitiet prohibits glasses in Danish passport photos. Remove all eyewear, including clear prescription glasses and sunglasses, before taking your photo.
Using a white instead of light grey background
Denmark prefers a light grey background. While a very light off-white may be tolerated, using an obviously white background can trigger rejection at the borgerservice counter.
Face occupying too little of the photo height
The face must fill 70-80% of the photo. Sitting too far from the camera produces a face that's too small — a common rejection reason at Danish passport offices.
Hair covering the forehead or ears
Rigspolitiet requires both ears to be visible and the full forehead to be shown. Pull hair back and tuck it behind the ears for a compliant Danish passport photo.
