Australia Passport Photo Requirements, Explained

Follow the Australian Passport Office's rules to avoid delays with your application.

Quick Check: Do's & Don'ts

No Glasses

Remove glasses unless you have a medical reason, with supporting evidence.

No Smiling

Keep a neutral expression with your mouth closed.

Plain White or Light Grey

Use an even, shadow-free background.

Get It Signed

One printed copy needs a guarantor's signature on the back.

The Guarantor Requirement

A uniquely Australian rule — one photo must be endorsed by a guarantor.

Unlike most countries, Australia requires one of your two identical printed photos to be signed on the back by an eligible guarantor — someone who has known you for at least a year and belongs to an approved occupation category (this isn't required for the photo itself, but it's an essential part of a complete application).

This tool handles the photo cropping and compliance — the guarantor endorsement is a separate step you'll complete after printing.

Attire & Accessories

Glasses and head coverings follow standard ICAO rules.

Glasses should be removed for your photo. If you must wear them for medical reasons, you'll need a note from a medical professional confirming this.

Head coverings are only accepted for religious reasons, and your face must remain fully visible from chin to forehead with no shadows cast by the covering.

Background & Lighting

A plain white or light grey background with even lighting.

The background must be plain white or light grey, with no patterns, textures, or visible shadows. Even, diffuse lighting helps avoid shadows falling on your face or behind your head.

Facial Expression & Posing

Face the camera directly with a neutral expression.

Look straight at the camera with a neutral expression, mouth closed, and both eyes open and clearly visible. The photo should have been taken within the last 6 months.
