About Sweden Passport Photo Requirements
Swedish passport photos follow biometric specifications set by Polisen (the Swedish Police Authority). The 35x45mm format requires a light-coloured background — Sweden accepts white, off-white, or very light grey, offering more flexibility than countries requiring a specific shade. The photo must be in colour.
Polisen allows glasses in passport photos provided the eyes are clearly visible and there is no glare on the lenses. Expression must be neutral with the mouth closed. The face from chin to crown must occupy 70-80% of the photo height. Photos must have been taken within the last 6 months.
Swedish passport applications are submitted at Polisens passexpeditioner (passport offices) or through the online Mina sidor portal for qualifying renewals. A digital photo can be uploaded for online applications, while a printed 35x45mm photo is required at passport office counters.
Common Mistakes in Swedish Passport Photos
Glare or reflections on glasses lenses
Sweden allows glasses, but Polisen will reject photos with any lens reflection. Use natural daylight from a 45-degree angle or step outside to eliminate glare before taking your photo.
Dark or distracting background
Sweden requires a light background, not dark, patterned, or strongly coloured. Even a pale blue or yellow tint in the background may cause rejection at the passport office.
Face too small or too large
The face must fill 70-80% of the photo height. If you sit too far from the camera, your face will be too small; too close and it will be too large. Both cause rejection.
Photo showing jewellery or hair accessories
Large earrings, necklaces, or hair accessories that shadow or partially cover the face must be removed. Small, discreet jewellery is generally acceptable.
