Requirements
Australia's Australia Passport requires a printed photo of 35x45 mm with a light grey or cream background.
- ✅ Size in millimeter: 35x45 mm
- ✅ Size in centimeter: 3.5x4.5 cm
- ✅ Size in inches: 1.37x1.77 Inch
- ✅ Light Grey or Cream Background
- ✅ Neutral expression
- ✅ No head tilt
- ✅ No glasses
- ✅ No heavy makeup
Print at the actual size, 35x45 mm, at a pharmacy, photo shop or copy center. Don't let the printer "fit to page", it will come out the wrong size.
Head size and position
Chin to crown should measure 32-36 mm within a photo that's 35-40mm wide by 45-50mm tall.
Digital file (if applying online)
Most Australian passport applications still require two identical printed photos rather than a digital-only upload.
Common reasons photos get rejected
- Only bringing one photo. Australia requires two identical prints, and one needs to be endorsed (signed on the back) by an approved guarantor confirming it's really you.
- White background instead of light grey or cream.
- Glasses or large earrings.
- Photo older than 6 months.
Taking the photo at home
- Print two identical copies, not one.
- Use a plain light grey or cream background, not white.
- Arrange for someone eligible (many professions qualify) to endorse the back of one copy before you submit.
- Keep a neutral expression with your mouth closed and eyes open.
Based on current Australian Passport Office (DFAT) photo guidelines.
