What to know about Australia passport photo
Australia requests two identical recent photographs for a passport application. They must be unedited and printed on heavy-weight glossy photo paper; the Passport Office recommends using a professional provider.
From everyday portrait to compliant result: Australia passport photo
We correct the framing and prepare the light grey or white background while preserving your natural appearance.
How it is actually submitted
Two printed copies are submitted with the application. Depending on the form and route, a guarantor may need to identify and sign the back of one photo; always follow the instructions on your form.
How to prepare
Start with an original photo without filters or background replacement. For final submission use glossy photo paper of at least 200 gsm and avoid inaccurate trimming.
Common rejection reasons
- Digitally removed or replaced background
- Retouched or enhanced facial features
- Thin, matte or low-quality paper
- Non-identical or damaged copies
