Make an Australian passport photo

  1. Open the studio and upload your photo.
  2. Select Australia / custom 35×45 mm. The tool replaces the background with light grey.
  3. Position the crop so the head fits inside the 32–36 mm overlay.
  4. Print at actual size on a 4 × 6 inch or A4 sheet at 300 DPI.

FAQ

Two photos required?

Yes — Australian passport applications require two identical recent photos. PassportSnap prints multiple copies on a single sheet by default.

Does one need to be endorsed?

One of the two photos must be endorsed on the back by your guarantor — that's a manual step done with pen after printing.
