Australia Passport: what gets applications rejected

Australia allows a size range (35–40mm wide × 45–50mm high) rather than one fixed size; this tool prints the common 35×45mm, which sits inside the accepted window. Online lodgement auto-crops, but paper prints must still show a plain background with no red-eye.

Accepted range 35–40 × 45–50mm; tool outputs 35×45mm
Face 32–36mm, plain white background, taken within 6 months
No glasses, no smiling with teeth showing, head centred

Photo tips that actually matter

No hat, no hair over eyebrows; remove glasses if possible (no glare).
No shadow on face or wall — step away from the wall, face the light.
Plain wall only; busy background? cut it out free first.
Blurry old scan? preview an upscale before printing.

FAQ

What are the Australia Passport photo requirements?

A Australia Passport photo is 35×45mm (413×531px at 300dpi) with white background; the head (chin to crown) must measure 32–36mm (71–80% of height). It must have been taken within the last 6 months; final acceptance is by the issuing authority.

What head size does a Australia Passport photo need?

The head (chin to crown) must measure 32–36mm, which is 71–80% of the photo height. The tool draws this range as a guide you align your head to.

What background color for Australia Passport?

White background is required. The tool lets you pick any colour and warns if it is off-spec, because a transparent cutout can legitimately be re-backed.

Which size should I print for Australia?

35×45mm is accepted everywhere in the 35–40 × 45–50mm window and is what photo counters expect. The tool exports 413×531px for upload and a 4×6″ sheet for printing — both at 35×45mm.

Can I take the photo with my phone?

Yes. Stand 1m from a white wall, use ceiling light (no flash), keep the camera at eye level, neutral expression, mouth closed, eyes open. The page checks sharpness before download.

How do I print it?

Download the free 4×6″ sheet and print borderless on 4R photo paper at any print shop, then cut along the gray lines.

Will this photo be accepted?

The tool follows published size/background guidance, but final acceptance is by the issuing authority. Our compliance check is advisory.
