Характеристики фото
Огляд
Sweden requires a 35x45 mm (413x531 pixels at 300 DPI) passport photo with a light background, administered by the Swedish Police Authority (Polismyndigheten). Swedish passport photos are captured on-site at police stations for all domestic applications, and applicants cannot bring their own photos. The police station uses standardized biometric camera equipment that ensures ICAO compliance. For applications at Swedish embassies and consulates abroad, applicants must supply their own compliant photos. Sweden was among the first EU countries to implement biometric passports, and its system has strict automated verification.
Plain light-colored background (light grey or white) with even illumination and no shadows
