Must meet ICAO biometric standards

The official requirements

Finnish passport photos must meet the photo instructions issued by the Police, which follow EU legislation and international agreements. The same requirements apply at every age. Our AI checks all of them before you pay.

Before you buy

We cannot send this photo to the Finnish police electronically. They accept photo-server uploads only from studios that took the picture themselves, so there is no kuvatunnus for a photo you supply. We deliver a file you print and hand in at the police station.

Photo size

36 × 47 mm

Measured from the crown to the tip of the chin, ignoring hair and beard, the head must be 32–36 mm (445–500 px). Leave 4–6 mm above the head and 7–9 mm below the chin, with the centre of the face within 1.5 mm of the centre line.

Background

Plain light grey

The best background colour is a light grey. It must be a single, even, light and neutral colour with no shadows, and your face, hair and clothing must all stand out clearly against it.

Face position

Head straight, facing the camera

Your head must be straight — not tilted to the side, forward or back — with your face and gaze pointed directly at the camera and your shoulders square to it. A scarf or other headwear is allowed only for religious reasons, established custom or health reasons, and must not shadow your face.

Lighting

Even, shadow-free

Lighting must be even across the whole face, with no shadows on your face or the background, no burnt-out highlights and no red-eye. Glasses may be worn provided the frames are nowhere near your eyes and there are no reflections — you can always take them off for the photo.

Photo age

Within 6 months

The photo may be no more than six months old. It must not be retouched in any way that changes even small details of your appearance.

Resolution & format

JPEG · 300 dpi

The photo must be sharp across the whole face, from ears to nose tip, with no compression artefacts, graininess, colour casts or wide-angle distortion. Digital enhancement is not permitted.

Colour

Colour or black and white

Glasses

Allowed, but the frame must not cover your eyes and the lenses must not reflect. The police advise keeping the frame well clear of your eyes.

Headwear

Religious, customary or medical reasons only, without shadowing the face
