Photo requirements
Passport photos
A compliant photo is an important part of your passport application and helps avoid processing delays.
Photo checklist
Use a recent colour photo taken against a plain, light background. Your face should be evenly lit and clearly visible.
- Neutral expression and eyes open
- No glasses, hats or head coverings unless permitted
- No shadows, glare or digital alterations
Use a professional service
Tell the photographer that the photo is for an Australian passport so they can follow the required dimensions and standards.
