Zwitserland ID / Rijbewijs from Nederland: identity-document crop only
Scope lock: Zwitserland ID / Rijbewijs is an identity / residence-style document page, kept separate from passport and licence URLs.
Even when your FotoPass market shows Nederland, a Zwitserland ID / Rijbewijs must still meet Zwitserland photo law for that document — local domestic sizes are a different product.
This article is scoped to Zwitserland ID / Rijbewijs as a Zwitserland identity / residence-style photo (35 × 45 mm, Lichtgrijs), kept separate from passport and licence pages.
Cross-border ID work: market Nederland, photo law Zwitserland for Zwitserland ID / Rijbewijs. Passport and licence copy stay on other URLs.
German-speaking ID standards commonly use 35 × 45 mm with a light background. Zwitserland ID / Rijbewijs on this page instead targets 35 × 45 mm and Lichtgrijs — do not assume an EU booth print is interchangeable.
Home-market tip: Nederland passport photos are commonly about 35 × 45 mm. Zwitserland ID / Rijbewijs instead demands 35 × 45 mm — different aspect ratio, not a simple resize.
From Nederland: selfie → Zwitserland ID / Rijbewijs → upload → use the export for Zwitserland registry / residence filings.
Why Nederland defaults fail Zwitserland ID checks
A 35 × 45 mm Nederland print is not automatically a valid 35 × 45 mm ID crop for Zwitserland ID / Rijbewijs.
Registries want a plain Lichtgrijs field and a current likeness — not a reused travel JPEG.
