Official Finnish passport photo requirements for 2026. Size, background and rules. Create a compliant photo online.
Image Created with AI for IllustrationA Finnish passport photograph is normally connected to the application through a retrieval code. After the image reaches the police photograph server, the applicant receives the code by text message or email and enters it in the passport application. The same code can also be given to the official handling an application at a police station.
The portrait must be no more than six months old. Finland’s police photograph instructions specify an electronic image of exactly 500 × 653 pixels, making the final file dimensions an important preparation step. The detailed photo requirements below and our framing, background, facial expression and photo quality guidance help you assess the picture before submission.
The code identifies the photograph; it does not complete the passport request. The police’s online application process determines whether an identification visit is also needed. Keep a current likeness and the requested identity documents ready, particularly when applying for a child or replacing a document after a change in circumstances.

The embassy and consulate directory helps locate the relevant mission for a consular application abroad, where submission arrangements can differ from the domestic police route. Use the visa finder for destination research once the passport application and collection plans are clear.
Photo dimensions must be precise to avoid rejection. The face-to-frame ratio is equally important for proper identification.
Use a plain, distraction-free background. We replace it automatically to meet official criteria.
Proper lighting ensures your photo is clear and natural. Uneven exposure or artificial glare can lead to rejection.
Your face must be fully visible with a neutral expression for easy identification and facial recognition.
Glasses are allowed only if they do not obstruct visibility. Headwear is permitted only for valid medical or religious reasons.
Improper posture can lead to application rejection. Your face and shoulders should be correctly aligned and fully visible.
