Comprobador de fotografías de visas de Noruega
If you're applying for a Norway visa, getting the photo right on the first try saves you days — sometimes weeks. The Norway Ministry of Foreign Affairs — Passport Service enforces strict biometric rules, and even photos that "look fine" to the human eye are routinely rejected by automated checkers. Our Norway Visa Photo Checker runs the same compliance tests right in your browser, in under 5 seconds, free to try.
Norway follows the 35×45 mm biometric standard with a light gray background. Norwegian passports are issued by the National Police Directorate (Politidirektoratet). Norway requires that photos be taken at a police station or approved photographer, and the face must cover 70–80% of the image height. That detail matters — most consumer photo apps still ship with generic templates that ignore these specifics. Upload your image above and we'll measure dimensions, sample the background, run face detection, and tell you exactly what to fix before you submit.

Common Norway visa rejection reasons
- Norway-specific: Ordering an off-spec size — the international 35×45 mm default is not 35×45 mm used by Norway, and studios often print the wrong size unless the exact dimensions are stated in millimetres.
- Norway-specific: Using ordinary printer paper for the print — European scanners require photographic-grade paper and reject standard inkjet output for the background uniformity check.
- Norway-specific: Uploading a photo whose background reads as close to but not exactly light gray once compressed — always verify the RGB values before submitting.
- Norway-specific: Submitting a photo older than 6 months even if you look the same — Norway Ministry of Foreign Affairs — Passport Service matches EXIF dates against the application date when available.
- Aspect ratio drifted from 35:45 after a careless crop

How to pass the checker
Vuelva a disparar con una iluminación plana y uniforme
Stand 1.5 m from a plain wall matching the required light gray background. Use two soft light sources (or window light through a thin curtain) on either side of your face to eliminate the shadow that triggers most Norway rejections.
Crop precisely to 35×45 mm
Use our free image cropper to pull the exact 35:45 ratio. Position your eyes near the upper third of the frame and leave roughly 5 mm of headroom above the hair — the proportions Norway Ministry of Foreign Affairs — Passport Service expects.
Reemplace el fondo si es del color incorrecto
If our checker flags the background as the wrong shade, run the image through our background remover and place it on the exact light gray Norway requires. This single fix resolves about 30% of all rejections we see.
Verificar la cobertura de la cara con el corrector.
Re-upload the corrected photo and confirm the face coverage score lands between 60–80%. If it's still low, crop in tighter; if too high, add headroom. Norway biometric matchers explicitly check this.

Preguntas frecuentes
Where do I apply for a passport in Norway?
Norway nationals apply through Norway Ministry of Foreign Affairs — Passport Service at the nearest passport office. Online prebooking is standard. Booking an appointment online first is standard practice and rarely optional.
Is a light gray background required in Norway passport photos?
Yes. Norway Ministry of Foreign Affairs — Passport Service requires a light gray background at the 35×45 mm print size. Substituting another colour or an off-light gray tone triggers rejection at the biometric pre-check even when the framing and lighting are otherwise correct.
What is the Norway passport photo size in pixels?
413×531 pixels at 300 DPI. At 300 DPI that maps to the physical 35×45 mm print. If the online portal specifies a different pixel target, resize from a 300 DPI master file rather than re-cropping a smaller original.
¿Qué tan preciso es este verificador de fotografías para visas de Noruega?
Our checker runs the same compliance tests automated systems at the Norway Ministry of Foreign Affairs — Passport Service use — dimensions, aspect ratio, background uniformity, sharpness, face detection (powered by Google's MediaPipe), face coverage and centering. A "compliant" verdict here is a strong indicator your photo will pass; a "fail" verdict effectively guarantees rejection. The only checks we cannot perform are colour calibration on your specific monitor and physical paper finish.
