Aperçu
Denmark requires a 35x45 mm (413x531 pixels at 300 DPI) passport photo with a light grey background, administered by the Danish National Police (Rigspolitiet). Danish passport photo requirements align with EU biometric standards and ICAO 9303 specifications. Since 2004, all Danish passports are biometric, and photos are scanned at police stations and citizen service centers (borgerservice) using automated facial recognition systems. Glasses are not permitted in Danish passport photos. The face must be evenly lit with no shadows, and the expression must be strictly neutral with the mouth closed.
Plain light grey background with even tone, no gradients or shadows
Exigences
- Photo dimensions must be 35x45 mm (413x531 pixels at 300 DPI)

- Both eyes open and clearly visible, with no glasses or sunglasses
- Face must be evenly lit with no shadows on the face or background
- No head coverings except for religious reasons with prior documentation
- Photo must be recent, taken within the last 6 months
- Printed on high-quality photo paper without gloss that causes reflections when scanned
Raisons courantes de rejet
- Wearing any type of glasses in the photo
- Background not light grey or not uniformly lit
- Shadows visible on the face, under the chin, or on the background
- Expression not neutral, showing any trace of a smile or open mouth
- Photo quality too low for biometric scanning at police stations
- Head not straight or eyes not looking directly at the camera
Conseils
- Danish borgerservice centers often have approved photo booths nearby, so ask staff for recommendations
- The grey background must be a specific light grey, not white or dark grey, so test at a photo booth first
- Avoid glossy photo paper as it can cause reflections during scanning at the police station
- Ensure the photo has no red-eye, as Danish biometric systems will flag it
- For children under 12, slight variations in expression are tolerated but the photo should still be as neutral as possible
