How to make a Norwegian passport photo online
- Open the Passport Photo Resizer. It loads with the Norway size (35 × 45 mm) already selected.

- Drag the crop frame so your head and eye line fit the guide (head about 25–35 mm tall).
- Set a plain white or light grey background if the original isn’t clean.
- Download the 35 × 45 mm image, ready to print or upload.
Norwegian passport applications are often photographed at the police / passport desk. You may not need a DIY print for that appointment. Use this page when a form still asks you to supply a 35 × 45 mm file, or when you are preparing a photo for another Norwegian ID-style upload.
When you do need a file, a common size is 35 × 45 mm on a plain white or light grey background. Head height guidance is often a wide mid-range (about 25–35 mm); match the millimetres and face rules on your form, not a generic booth label.
Even lighting and a neutral expression matter as much as the outer size. Use the Schengen preset for framing, then confirm the latest Norwegian passport photo checklist before you lodge.
Dimensions here are a convenient reference for the most common Norwegianpassport photo size. Rules can change and some applications differ, so always confirm the latest requirements with the Norwegian Police / passport service before you submit.
