In Finland you can submit your own photo through the internet. All applications are verified by the police so I don't see the issue.

From the article:

> Such manipulation of photos is typically invisible to the human eye, the researchers found.

By the police I do mean the Police, ie not just an individual police person or civilian working for the police. I'm sure they have both automatic testing AND human control.

No you can't. Only a licensed photography studio can do it [1]. You can, however, submit a paper photograph taken by anyone.

I literally can. Please don't spread misinformation when I doubt you even are a Finn.

E: not to mention that the page you linked doesn't even say anything about prohibiting self taken photos.

You can register as a photographer very easily. I've been doing my own pics for years now.

You don't even need to register as a photographer (to submit other people's photos). You can do it as an individual just fine, as the submission page directly mentions.
