Finland Passport 36x47mm Photo

Matte or glossy photo paper, 36x47mm (unique Finnish size). Cut the photo to exactly 36 x 47 mm (1.4" x 1.9") — any deviation beyond 0.5 mm can trigger rejection.

A standard 4x6 inch (10x15 cm) print sheet holds 8 photos at this size — a cost-effective option at any photo kiosk or home printer. Leave a small margin between cuts.

The background must be Light grey or light blue background and completely uniform — any gradients, shadows, or patterns are grounds for rejection.

Finland uses a slightly non-standard photo size (36x47mm instead of 35x45mm). Make sure to select the Finnish format specifically.

Finland passport applications typically require you to submit printed photos with your application form at a passport office, post office, or consulate. Bring 2 copies unless the application form specifies otherwise.

Photo recency requirement: Must be taken within the last 6 months.

For the most current requirements, refer to the official government source before submitting.
