Vérificateur de photos de passeport des Norvège

If you're applying for a Norway passport, check the photo requirements before submitting. Our Norway Passport Photo Checker compares your image with the listed dimensions and background guidance in your browser. Preview the result for free; the issuing authority makes the final decision.

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.

Photo checking happens locally in your browser. Sharing or saving a result is a separate action you choose.

Common Norway passport 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.

How to pass the checker

Reprenez la photo dans un éclairage plat et 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.

Remplacez l'arrière-plan s'il est de mauvaise couleur
If our checker flags the background, compare it with the selected specification (light gray). The background remover can help prepare another preview; confirm that edited photos are accepted by the authority.

Questions fréquentes

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.

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.

Our checker reviews dimensions, aspect ratio, background, sharpness and face positioning with on-device detection where available. It cannot duplicate Norway Ministry of Foreign Affairs — Passport Service's review or guarantee acceptance. Always check the official instructions for your application.
