Sweden residence permit passport copy photo guide

Photo requirements

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

• Migrationsverket asks for copies where "All information in the passport must be clearly visible on the copies": personal details, the period of validity, the issuing country, the signature (whichever page of the passport it is on), residence rights in other countries, the machine-readable code on the identity page, and the numbers and symbols at the top and bottom of the pages.
• Pages with an entry or exit stamp must be copied in full — the entire stamped page is required.
• You can photograph or scan the pages of the passport and attach them in the e-service (paper copies apply when not applying in the e-service).
• The legibility of the copies (all information clearly visible) is officially required.
• No file format, numeric file-size cap, page count, colour, or merge policy exists on the official public pages and is not stated in the official guidance.
