Australian Passport Photo Requirements
You don't need to worry about these specifications too much. If you're coming to our studio, we take care of all of these requirements. If you are uploading your images, we will ensure that they meet the requirements. You only need to follow the simple rules below:
- When shooting the photo yourself, choose a background that is plain and light such as a wall or sheet (we will convert it to the preferred uniform light grey).
- Spectacles should not be worn if they reflect the light or obscure the eyes.
- No scarves or hats should be worn.
Unlike most countries, Australia has a flexible print size. The minimum size is 35x45mm. There is no official maximum print size anymore (it used to be 40x50mm)
We print ours as 35x45mm
The background colour can be light blue, cream, beige, grey or white. The preferred tone is 18% grey. We print ours at 18% grey unless, in the case of photographs taken yourselves, the lighting conditions better suit one of the other alternative backgrounds.
