What we fix for free, and what AI fixes
Fixed for free
- Background. Replaced with the one this document asks for: photo is usually taken at the authority on site; if a preparatory file is needed, use a neutral plain light background without shadows.
- 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
Sweden-specific things to know
- Issued by Skatteverket (Tax Agency) — different authority from Police-issued passport
- In-person appointment mandatory — photo captured on-site
- Height also measured at service centre (unusual)
- 2-week issuance, 5-year validity
- Not a travel document (separate Polismyndigheten national ID card is EU-travel-valid)

What the source confirms
- The Swedish Police handles passport and national ID-card applications.
- Photos for passports and national ID cards are taken at the passport office.
- The public route does not use a reusable applicant-supplied print photo.
- This confirms an authority-capture workflow.
- The profile remains official-general because no public applicant-photo matrix is published for this route.
