About Norway Passport Photo Requirements
Norwegian passport photos are specified by Politiet (the Norwegian Police) and reviewed under UDI (Utlendingsdirektoratet — Directorate of Immigration) standards. The 35x45mm format requires a white or light grey background. Norway specifically requires that both ears be visible in the photo — making it stricter on this point than many other countries.
Glasses are not permitted in Norwegian passport photos. Expression must be completely neutral with the mouth closed and both eyes open. The face must be centered with no tilt. Photos must have been taken within the last 6 months and accurately represent your current appearance.
Norwegian passport applications are submitted online at politiet.no or at your local police station (politistasjon) with a passport service. An in-person biometric capture appointment is required. For Norwegian citizens abroad, applications are handled at the nearest Norwegian embassy or consulate.
Common Mistakes in Norwegian Passport Photos
Ears not visible
Norway specifically requires both ears to be clearly visible. This is stricter than many countries. Pull hair behind the ears and ensure neither ear is covered before taking your photo.
Wearing glasses
Glasses are not allowed in Norwegian passport photos. Remove all eyewear including clear prescription glasses before taking your photo for politiet.no submission.
Using a coloured or dark background
Politiet requires white or light grey. Any other background colour — even a very light blue — will be rejected. Stick to white or the palest grey for a safe result.
Photo taken more than 6 months ago
Norwegian police officers verify that the photo is recent and matches your current appearance. Photos showing a noticeably different hairstyle or beard will be questioned.
