What we fix for free, and what AI fixes
Fixed for free
- Background. Replaced with the one this document asks for: plain white 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.
Glare on the lenses. Take the glasses off or turn away from the light source and shoot again.
Why these photos get rejected — and how to fix each one
Norway-specific things to know
- The central rule and the embassy lists differ: UDI says the photo is taken at the appointment and you bring none, while the checklists of the embassies in Algeria and Nigeria ask for one printed photo.
- Where a print is asked, it is 35 × 45 mm (written 3.5 × 4.5 cm in Nigeria), white background, within six months, and glued to the application form in Algeria.
- At the appointment glasses and headgear are not worn and both ears must be visible — a stricter line than many visa lists.
Printing on a single sheet
4 × 2 frames fit on one 10×15 cm sheet — 8 copies from a single print.
Print at 100% scale, borderless, and turn off fit-to-page so each photo keeps its exact size.

What the source confirms
- UDI, «Photo/passport photo»: «The police or the foreign service mission will take a picture of you when you arrive for your appointment. You do not need to bring a photo when you apply for a visa, residence permit or travel document. This applies to everyone, including children.» The photo they take must meet specific requirements so you can be easily recognised, the same as for facial photographs in passports and national ID cards.
- UDI quality requirements: the photo must show your face as it looks today; both eyes, both eyebrows and both ears entirely visible; the eyes directed toward the camera lens; a neutral expression and the mouth closed; the background and the face evenly lit; glasses and headgear not worn (religious or special reasons, for example illness, allowed if the headgear covers no part of the face and no more of the head than necessary, and is not so tight as to alter the natural shape of the face); photographed from the front; scarves, bags and outerwear removed.
- Royal Norwegian Embassy checklist, Algeria (2026): «One photograph glued to application form (not older than 6 months, white background, 35 x 45 mm)», with the visa application form signed and received from the UDI portal (my.udi.no) and a passport valid at least three months after the planned departure from Schengen.
- Royal Norwegian Embassy checklist, Nigeria: «One passport photo not older than six (6) months, white back ground, size 3.5x4.5 cm» (with a link to the photo requirements), with the harmonised application form from the UDI portal and a passport valid for at least three months past the return date.
