Compliance Thresholds

These are the official measurements your photo must meet to avoid rejection:

Head Height

70% – 90% of image height

Printing Your Photo

Printed on high-quality photo paper, between 35-40mm wide and 45-50mm high. Cut the photo to exactly 35 x 45 mm (1.4" x 1.8") — any deviation beyond 0.5 mm can trigger rejection.

A standard 4x6 inch (10x15 cm) print sheet holds 8 photos at this size — a cost-effective option at any photo kiosk or home printer. Leave a small margin between cuts.

The background must be light coloured and completely uniform — any gradients, shadows, or patterns are grounds for rejection.

Submitting Your Passport Photo

Australia Post offices offer passport photo services for around AUD $19.95, or you can use our free tool and print at home.

Australia passport applications typically require you to submit printed photos with your application form at a passport office, post office, or consulate. Bring 2 copies unless the application form specifies otherwise.

Photo recency requirement: Must be taken within the last 6 months.

For the most current requirements, refer to the official government source before submitting.

Common Rejection Reasons

  • Red eye in photo
  • Shadows on face or background
  • Photo too dark or overexposed
  • Head tilted or turned
  • Photo not cut to exact 35 x 45 mm dimensions
  • Non-neutral facial expression or wide smile
  • Red-eye or flash glare on face or glasses
  • Eyes closed or partially closed

If your photo is rejected, most authorities allow resubmission with a corrected photo at no additional charge.
