What this document is
In Sweden a resedokument is issued by Migrationsverket to people with a Swedish residence permit who have refugee status or a refugee status declaration, are recognised refugees under the 1951 Convention, or are stateless under the 1954 New York Convention. The application is filed in the e-service, or on a paper form when that is not possible; applying is free, and the document costs 350 kronor if granted. Once the application is registered, a time for the photo and fingerprints is booked on Min sida, at Migrationsverket or a Statens servicecenter, and children come with a guardian or a god man.
A refugee travel document is issued to a recognised refugee in place of a passport from their country of origin. Article 28 of the 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees obliges states to issue such documents to refugees lawfully staying in their territory, and its annex sets the specimen they follow.

What we fix for free, and what AI fixes
Fixed for free
- Background. Replaced with the one this document asks for: plain light background without textures or noticeable gradients.
- 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.
