How to Print Compliant Australian Passport Photos for A$0.25
- Stand 0.5m in front of a plain white or light-grey wall while the photographer stands 1.5m away at eye level (prevents wide-angle big-nose lens distortion!).
- Keep your mouth closed, hair tucked away from eyes and face edges, and remove all glasses.
- Open the 35×45mm Studio above — its 32–36 mm crown-to-chin guide bands match DFAT/APO's exact millimeter template.
- Download the single PNG for ImmiAccount eVisa uploads for free, or export the 8-up 6×4" (10×15cm) sheet and print on glossy heavy photo paper at Officeworks or Kmart (select 'No Cropping / Actual Size').
Why AusPost Rejects DIY Australian Passport Prints
- Crown vs. top of hair confusion: APO measures 32–36 mm from the bottom of your chin to the bony CROWN of your skull (where the top of your head would be without big voluminous hair)!
- Inkjet grid dots or low-DPI paper: Never print physical APO photos on plain matte office paper; always use 300+ DPI dye-sublimation or glossy photo lab kiosks.
- Cutting inside the 35mm width: Trim just outside the corner ticks so your finished print remains strictly between 35–40 mm wide and 45–50 mm tall.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are glasses allowed in Australian passport photos?
No. Since July 2018, the Australian Passport Office prohibits glasses in passport photos unless severe medical reasons supported by a signed doctor's statement prevent removal.
What is the exact head size for an Australian passport photo?
From the bottom of the chin to the crown of the head (excluding tall hairstyles) must measure between 32 mm and 36 mm on the printed 35x45 mm photograph.
Does this digital photo also work for Australian Visitor (Subclass 600) or Student (Subclass 500) ImmiAccount uploads?
Yes! Our free single 300 DPI export matches the 35x45mm aspect ratio and head proportions required by the Australian Department of Home Affairs ImmiAccount portal.
