Sweden Passport from the UK: ignore GOV.UK sizes
Scope lock: this URL is for Sweden Passport travel-document photos only — licence and national-ID copy live on their own pages.
Many people in the United Kingdom order a Sweden Passport while renewing from abroad, booking a US consular appointment, or submitting an online US form. GOV.UK photo rules do not apply to that file — only Sweden specifications on this page do.
This article is scoped to Sweden Passport as a Sweden travel / passport photo (35 × 45 mm, Light grey). Driving-licence and national-ID wording is not pasted here.
British applicants routinely paste a 35 × 45 mm HMPO-style portrait into a Sweden form. That portrait is legal for a UK passport — and wrong for Sweden Passport at 35 × 45 mm on Light grey.
Official framing for Sweden Passport on FotoPass is 35 × 45 mm with a Light grey background. Treat any other country’s booth print as a different template.
Practical UK workflow: selfie in daylight near a window (avoid yellow tungsten alone), confirm Sweden Passport, upload here, then attach the export to the Sweden online tool or take it to your London / Belfast / Edinburgh consular packet — not a high-street “UK passport” booth ticket.
35 × 45 mm vs Sweden Passport geometry
UK passport guidance is a tall rectangle. Sweden Passport needs 35 × 45 mm (exact millimetres above). Phone “perspective” tools cannot invent the missing width legally.
If a UK chemist already printed 35 × 45 mm, leave that print for UK renewals. Generate a separate Sweden Passport file on FotoPass for Sweden passport filings.
Filing Sweden Passport from England, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland
Online Sweden passport renewals accept digital photos when the crop matches Sweden rules. Embassy / consulate appointments serving UK residents still expect the same 35 × 45 mm standard — bring the newest download, not last year’s holiday snap.

Sweden passport photo — what people search
This page is scoped to Sweden Passport only: 35 × 45 mm on a Light grey background. Licence or national-ID crops belong on their own document pages.
Queries such as “Sweden passport photo size” and “biometric passport photo” should land here — not on a driving-licence tool with a coincidentally similar millimetre size.
Sweden passport note

Treat UK and Sweden photo products as two different SKUs — this page only manufactures the Sweden Passport passport one.
