Australian Passport Photo Requirements

Yes. The Australian Passport Office (DFAT) accepts self-captured photos for both online renewals and paper applications. The photo must meet the 35 × 45 mm size, plain white background, and ICAO biometric framing. Australia tightened glasses rules in 2017 — no glasses allowed even if clear. Religious head coverings are explicitly permitted if the face remains fully visible.

Yes. Australia, New Zealand, and the UK all use 35 × 45 mm ICAO-aligned framing. The only minor variance is background colour — Australia and NZ require plain white; the UK accepts light grey or white. A photo taken on a white background works for all three; one on light grey works for the UK only.
