Australian passport photo standards
Australian passport photos are 35×45 mm with a plain light-coloured background. The face must be squarely toward the camera with a neutral expression. Glasses are not accepted for passport photos, and head coverings are only allowed for religious or medical reasons when the face remains fully visible.
Print quality matters for paper lodgements: the image should be sharp, correctly coloured, and free of shadows. Digital pathways still expect the same proportions and biometric look.
From phone selfie to passport file
A clear selfie taken in soft daylight is enough to start. PhotoGov converts it to the Australia Passport 35×45 mm format, applies a light background, and centers the head so you can print or submit without visiting a studio first.
Before lodging, confirm the photo still looks like you and that nothing covers the eyes, eyebrows or jawline.
Photo tips
- Remove glasses and hats before photographing.
- Keep hair tucked behind the ears if it hides the face outline.
- Avoid outdoor midday sun that creates harsh shadows.
- Print on high-quality photo paper if lodging in person.
Common rejection reasons
- Glasses or tinted lenses
- Smile showing teeth
- Shadows on the face or background
- Incorrect size or stretched aspect ratio
