Frequently Asked Questions
What size is a Swedish ID card photo?
Swedish ID card photos are 35x45mm (3.5x4.5cm), the standard biometric size used across the EU. The head should measure 32-36mm from chin to crown.
Can I wear glasses in my Swedish ID card photo?
Yes, clear glasses are allowed as long as there is no glare and the frames do not cover your eyes. Sunglasses and tinted lenses are not permitted. If in doubt, it's safer to remove them.
What background color is required for Swedish ID photos?
A plain white or light grey background is required. The background must be evenly lit with no shadows, patterns, or textures.
Do I need to bring my own photo for a Swedish ID card?
If applying at a Swedish police station in Sweden, your photo is typically taken at the passport office. For applications at Swedish consulates abroad, you need to bring two passport photos meeting the standard requirements.
How does the Swedish ID card photo compare to US passport photos?
Swedish ID photos are 35x45mm (rectangular) while US passport photos are 2x2 inches (51x51mm, square). Both require white backgrounds and neutral expressions, but the US strictly prohibits glasses while Sweden allows clear glasses without glare.
