Australia Passport Photo — DFAT Compliant
Create your Australia Passport photo at home in under 3 minutes. AI-powered crop, background removal, and compliance check — all verified against official Australia government requirements.
Australian passport photos follow DFAT (Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade) specifications: 35×45mm with a plain white background. The head height must be between 32–36mm. Australia is strict about expression — even a slight smile can result in rejection.
Australia Post is the most common place to get passport photos, charging AUD $20–25. Some post offices have automated photo booths that may not catch compliance issues like incorrect head positioning or uneven lighting. PhotoPass runs a 10-point check before you pay.
For online passport applications through the Australian Passport Office, you can upload a digital photo. The file must be JPEG format, at least 600 pixels on the shortest side. PhotoPass generates a compliant file ready for immediate upload to the DFAT portal.
