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.
Glasses in the frame. This document does not accept them at all — take them off and shoot again.
Why these photos get rejected — and how to fix each one
Norway-specific things to know
- Norway is a «no own photo» country for ordinary passports and ID cards — an own photo is only for the emergency passport, and it must come from a photographer or a booth and be in colour.
- Both ears must be entirely visible, along with both eyebrows — a stricter wording than many countries — and glasses are not worn at all.
- Babies are photographed with the same machine in front of a white screen and must have their eyes open, so the appointment should be when the baby is awake.

Where these numbers come from

What the source confirms
- Norwegian Police, what to bring (translated from the Norwegian): you must not bring your own photo for an ordinary passport or ID card; the police take your picture when you attend your appointment, and this applies to everyone, including babies and children; if you apply for an emergency passport you must bring your own photo.
- Norwegian Police, emergency passport (translated): bring a colour passport photo — the photo must be taken by a photographer or in a photo booth, be in colour and meet the requirements for the facial photo (a 200 kB PDF is linked); the application fee is NOK 1 320 for adults and children, paid at the passport and ID office; the earliest appointment is seven days before departure; the emergency passport is valid only for that journey and must be returned.
- Norwegian Police, newborns and babies (translated): the same machine is used for everyone, including babies; the photo is taken in front of a white screen — a parent holds the child in front of the screen or holds a white portable screen against the chest and the baby in front of it; the baby must have its eyes open, so it is important that the baby is awake; there is no lower age limit for a baby passport, but it can be hard to get a good picture if the baby cannot keep the eyes open or hold the head up.
- UDI, «Photo/passport photo»: the police or the foreign service mission take a picture at the appointment and no photo is needed for a visa, residence permit or travel document; the requirements are the same as for facial photographs in passports and national ID cards — the face as it looks today; both eyes, both eyebrows and both ears entirely visible; eyes directed towards the camera lens; neutral expression and closed mouth; evenly lit background and face; glasses and headgear not worn; photographed from the front; scarves, bags and outerwear removed. Headgear for religious or other special reasons (for example illness) when similar headgear is expected whenever the document is presented; it must not cover any part of the face or more of the head than necessary and must not be so tight as to alter the natural shape of the face.
