  3. 03

    Save the 35 × 45 mm result — print it or attach it to the application

03What we fix

What we fix for free, and what AI fixes

Fixed for free

  • Background. Replaced with the one this document asks for: evenly lit background.
  • Head tilt. Straightened if the head leans slightly to one side.
  • Frame. Exactly 35 × 45 mm, by the document’s rules.
  • A light shadow on one side of the face. Gently brightened.
  • File and print sheet. A file to the document’s rules and a 10 × 15 or A4 sheet to print.

What can't be fixed for free, AI correction fixes

  • Hard shadows and uneven light on the face.
  • A smile, raised brows or a half-open mouth. Cropping keeps the face it was given.
  • Too few pixels. If the original is smaller than 413 × 531 px, enlarging it only blurs the face.
  • Clothing and pose. Shoulders out of frame, body turned away from the camera.

  • The Norwegian Police handles passport and national ID-card appointments.
  • UDI photo-quality rules are used across visas, residence permits, travel documents, passports and national ID cards.
  • The facial image should be current, front-facing and evenly lit.
  • This page remains official-general because applicants do not normally supply a reusable print photo.
