How to australian Passport Photo Maker (35×45 mm)

  1. Take a photo against a plain white or light-grey background with even light and no shadows. Remove glasses; keep a neutral expression with your mouth closed.
  2. Upload it — the Australia 35×45 mm preset is selected. Zoom and drag until your head sits between the guides.
  3. Download the single photo for online applications, or a 4×6 inch sheet to print at any photo kiosk for a few cents — print at 100% scale, never “fit to page”.

What does this tool do?

Australian passport photos are 35–40 mm wide and 45–50 mm high, with the face (chin to crown) between 32 and 36 mm. The background must be plain white or light grey, the photo in colour, recent (within 6 months), and you can't wear glasses. This tool makes a 35×45 mm photo, the most common choice within that range.

Paper applications need a guarantor to endorse one of the photos — printing a 4×6 sheet gives you spares. Your photos are processed in your browser and never uploaded.

Frequently asked questions

Can I take my own Australian passport photo?

Yes, as long as it meets the rules. Have someone else take it from about 1.5 m away in good, even light rather than using a selfie.

Do I need two photos?

Paper applications need two identical photos, one endorsed by your guarantor. A 4×6 sheet gives you several for the price of one print.

Can I smile in an Australian passport photo?

No — keep a neutral expression with your mouth closed and eyes open, looking straight at the camera.

What should children's photos look like?

The same rules apply, but babies don't need to have their eyes open and can be supported by a hand as long as it isn't visible. Lay a baby on a plain white sheet and photograph from above.
