The linked form is a paper application and asks for a new photo, but it is an older form. Check current submission instructions with Føroya Politi before applying[1].
Background and Head Height Guidelines

The notes on the official application form state that it is an older document still linked by the Faroese police, so current availability and handling should always be checked directly with Føroya Politi[1]. Since there are no strict background or head height numbers provided by the source, keeping your background plain and centering your face normally is a smart practical choice.

Step-by-Step Guide to Taking Your Photo at Home
Taking your own photo at home is simple if you set up your space correctly. Find a room with bright, even light, ideally by facing a large window during daytime hours.
Avoid harsh overhead lighting that creates deep shadows under your nose and chin. Stand or sit against a plain wall so nothing distracts from your facial features.
Ask a friend or family member to take the picture rather than trying to take a selfie, because holding the camera yourself distorts facial proportions. Keep the camera or phone at your exact eye level, roughly one to one and a half meters away from you. Take several test shots so you can pick the one with the best lighting, sharp focus, and natural pose.
