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.

Where 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.
