Aperçu

Finland requires a 36x47 mm (425x555 pixels at 300 DPI) passport photo with a light grey background, processed by the Finnish Police (Poliisi). Finland uses slightly non-standard dimensions compared to the typical EU 35x45 mm format, so applicants must ensure their photos match the exact Finnish specification. All Finnish passports are biometric and photos are verified through automated facial recognition at police stations. Glasses are not permitted in Finnish passport photos since 2017. The face must be evenly illuminated with no shadows, and the expression must be completely neutral.

Plain light grey background with uniform tone, no patterns or shadows

Exigences

  • Photo dimensions must be exactly 36x47 mm (425x555 pixels at 300 DPI)
  • Background must be plain light grey with even illumination
  • Full frontal face with neutral expression and mouth closed
  • Both eyes open and clearly visible, and glasses are not permitted
  • Face evenly lit with no shadows on the face or background
  • No head coverings except for religious reasons with documentation
  • Photo must be taken within the last 6 months
  • Printed on high-quality matte or semi-matte photo paper

Raisons courantes de rejet

  • Photo dimensions not matching the Finnish 36x47 mm specification
  • Background not light grey or not evenly lit
  • Wearing any type of glasses in the photo
  • Shadows visible on the face or behind the head
  • Expression not completely neutral or mouth open
  • Photo quality insufficient for biometric scanning at police stations

Conseils

  • Finnish photo dimensions (36x47 mm) differ from standard EU 35x45 mm, so confirm your studio can produce this exact size
  • Most Finnish photo studios and booths at R-kioski locations offer the correct Finnish format
  • Avoid glossy paper as it creates reflections during scanning at police service points
  • The grey must be a distinct light grey, not white; Finnish police systems will reject a white background
  • For children, a parent may need to hold the child during the photo but their hands must not be visible
