Where can you get a passport photo taken in Sweden?
The photo is taken at the passport office, so you bring none.
Short answer
You do not bring a passport photo, because the photo for a Swedish passport is taken at the Police passport office when you apply. The passport officer also takes two fingerprints. Children are photographed at the passport office too, and children under six do not have to give fingerprints.
Why
- Photography for passports and national ID cards takes place at the time of application at the Police passport offices, according to the Swedish Police.
- The passport officer takes a photograph and two fingerprints, according to the Swedish Police.
- For a child you do not need to bring a photo, because the photo is taken at the passport office, according to the Swedish Police.
Details
Book a time through Mina sidor and bring a valid Swedish ID document to the appointment. For a child, all guardians must give their consent to the application.
Tip
Skip the photo studio: arrive on time with valid ID, and the photo is taken at the desk.
