Iceland residence permit photo guide

Photo requirements

The photo size, format, and background conditions for the application.

• The official sources require a 35 x 45 mm (width x height) passport photo.
• The application must be submitted in its original form on paper, sent by regular mail or delivered to the drop box at the Directorate's reception. No digital photo upload route exists for first applications; you print the photo and mail it with your documents yourself (this tool prepares the print photo only and does not mail it for you).
• The background colour, face geometry (head size / eye line), recency, and the number of photos are not stated on either the D-107 form or the spouse page.
• The tool shows a generic 35×45 mm face guide as a reference; it is not an official composition rule (the authority publishes no face geometry).
