Norway passport photo size & rules
Norway, a Nordic country stretching along the western edge of the Scandinavian Peninsula with its dramatic fjords and long Atlantic coastline, requires a standardised photograph for every passport (pass) application. The photo must measure 35 millimetres wide by 45 millimetres tall, which is 413 by 531 pixels at 300 DPI, matching the ICAO biometric standard used across Europe.
Norwegian passports are issued by the Norwegian Police (Politiet), with applications made in person at a police station that offers passport services. Because Norway now captures biometric data at the station, many applicants have their photo taken there, but a compliant photo is still valuable for reference and for other documents. The image must show a neutral expression, mouth closed, eyes open and visible, against a plain white or light grey background with even, shadow-free lighting. Glasses are generally not permitted, and head coverings are accepted only for religious reasons.
