Application term
What is a Finnish passport photo code?
A photo code identifies a photograph stored on the Finnish Police photo server. Enter it in the online passport or identity-card application or give it to the licensing officer; OmaPassikuva does not issue this official code.
Check your photo freeWhere it comes from
A studio usually submits a photograph it took and sends the code to the customer. A person using the currently available private upload route receives the code during the lupakuvienvastaanotto.fi process.
What it does not prove
A code confirms transfer to the server, not authority pre-approval. The photo is assessed when the related application is processed.
Frequently asked questions
Can I download a photo with the code?
No. Police says the photo server is not general image storage and does not offer the photograph back for download.
