How to take your Australian Passport Photo at home

Stand in front of a plain white or light grey wall that contrasts with your face, with even light and no shadows.
Take off glasses, face the camera with a neutral expression, eyes open and mouth closed.
Use a photo taken in the last 6 months.
Drop the photo above to crop it to 35 × 45 mm with the face 32–36 mm from chin to crown, then print the 4 × 6 inch sheet on glossy photo paper.

Common reasons your Australian Passport Photo is rejected

Face too small or too large for the 32–36 mm range
Glasses, or glare and shadows on the face
A background that is not plain white or light grey
Photos printed on plain paper, or prints that are creased or marked
Photos older than 6 months

Lodging your Australian passport photos

Print two identical colour photos and bring them when you lodge your application.

For a first adult passport, your guarantor endorses the back of one photo with a statement that it is a true photo of you and signs it. Renewing applicants usually only write their name on the back — follow the instructions on your form.
