We check your photo against the published Australian passport photo rules, frame it on your face at 35 x 45 mm and lay copies out on a 4 x 6 inch sheet for printing. We replace the background, correct the brightness or contrast, or soften shine on the skin only if you ask for it and confirm that such a photo may be rejected, and we never change your features or the shape of your face. The Australian Passport Office decides whether to accept the photo.
Ce que l’administration ne publie pas
- The photo page publishes no eye line, top margin, colour space, print resolution or uniform rule.
- The photo page publishes no pixel size or file format, because the submitted photo is a print. It describes no online upload of photos.
- The page gives a size band of 35 to 40 by 45 to 50 mm and no single size. We prepare 35 x 45 mm, which lies inside the band.
- The page does not mention cropping or resizing a photo.
- Writing your full name on the back of one photo is not on the photo page; see the guarantors page, which we have not read.
Ce que vous recevez
- Your original photo. The file you uploaded, unchanged.
- 35 x 45 mm photo. Your photo framed on your face and sized to 35 x 45 mm, ready for a photo lab. The authority publishes no single size, so we use the 35 x 45 mm ICAO portrait.
- 4×6 inch print sheet. Copies of the 35 x 45 mm photo laid out on one 4×6 inch sheet, for a photo lab.
- Printing and submission checklist. What size and paper to print on, what to check before you print, and the wording of the rules your photo was checked against.

Ce que nous ne promettons pas
Nous ne pouvons pas promettre qu’une administration acceptera une photo, et nous ne déposons aucune demande à votre place. C’est toujours l’administration qui décide.
