Wearing glasses — Glasses are not allowed unless you have a medical certificate or declaration form explaining why you cannot remove them
Wrong head size — Face must measure 32-36mm from chin to crown (about 70-80% of the photo height)
Incorrect background — Background must be plain white or light grey with no patterns, shadows, or marks
Photo too old — Must be taken within the last 6 months showing your current appearance

Use glossy or matte photo paper, not regular printer paper. When printing, select "actual size" or "no scaling" to ensure the photos are exactly 35 × 45 mm (1.4" × 1.8").

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I upload my Australian passport photo online through APRIL?
No. The Australian Passport Renewal Application Online (APRIL) service does not accept digital photo uploads. Even when you renew your passport online through APRIL, you must still obtain a physical printed photo, have one of the two copies endorsed (signed) by a qualified referee, and lodge them in person at a participating Australia Post outlet or Australian diplomatic mission overseas. The photo is then scanned into your file by Australia Post staff. This is different from the US or UK, which both accept digital photo uploads for online renewal.
So why would I use a $1 digital passport photo tool for an Australian passport?
Because the cheapest path is to generate a compliant photo digitally and then print the two copies yourself — or print them at a pharmacy, Kmart, or Officeworks for under $5. That saves you $15–$25 compared to having the photo taken at Australia Post or a professional studio. The photo still needs to be printed on photo paper, trimmed to 35×45mm, and taken to Australia Post with your application. One of the two copies must be endorsed on the back by your referee.
What size is an Australian passport photo?
Australian passport photos must be 35–40mm wide and 45–50mm high, with your face measuring 32–36mm from chin to crown. Our tool creates photos at the standard 35×45mm size, which fits inside the accepted range.
Can I wear glasses in my Australian passport photo?
No. Glasses are not allowed in Australian passport photos. If you cannot remove glasses for medical reasons, you'll need to provide a medical certificate or complete a declaration form at Australia Post.
What background color is required for Australian passport photos?
The background must be plain white or light grey. It should contrast with your face and have no patterns, textures, or shadows.
How is an Australian passport photo different from a US passport photo?
Australian photos are 35×45mm (rectangular), while US photos are 2×2 inches (51×51mm, square). Australia allows white or light grey backgrounds; US requires pure white. Both prohibit glasses. The biggest workflow difference: the US accepts digital upload for online renewal, Australia does not.
Can I smile in my Australian passport photo?
No. You must have a neutral expression with your mouth closed and both eyes open. Anyone over 3 years old must meet this requirement.
