Today, there are over 4000 Australia Post offices – but only some 1500 offer photo services, so don’t be taking off to your local outlet before you make sure it’s suitable.
Here’s how you can find a participating outlet:
Please note: when having your pictures taken at a post office, you’ll also have to apply for your document right away – and pay the application fee.
If you want to save money and bring your own photos, you can use our website to create your pictures at home in advance – quickly, conveniently, and for a much lower price!
No, you can walk into any participating Australia Post outlet to have your passport photos taken. However, staff may be busy with other customers, so booking an appointment can help you avoid waiting.
To book an appointment:
You’ll receive six identical photos. Two of them will be enclosed with your application, and you can use the other four for other documents.
Yes, but only as a free addition to printed photos. If you need a digital copy, let the staff know before they take your picture, and they will email it to you at no extra cost. You can also request to have your photo saved in Digital iD.
Yes, but to avoid mistakes that could lead to a rejected application, we recommend using our tool. Australia Post has strict requirements, including a photo size of 35-40mm in width and 45-50mm in height, a plain white or light-coloured background, and proper lighting.
If your photo doesn’t meet these standards, it may be rejected. But with our service, you can upload a regular photo, and we’ll automatically resize it to the correct dimensions and remove the background to ensure it meets all official requirements. Just make sure to follow these key guidelines:
Our tool ensures your photo is compliant before you print or submit it, saving you time and effort.
Yes, the type of paper matters. Australia Post specifies that passport photos must be printed on glossy paper with a matte texture – a hybrid style that meets official standards.
If you’re printing your own photos, check with your local camera store or photo lab to ensure they use the correct paper before printing.
No, your photos must be recent. Australia Post and the passport office require that your photo be taken within the last six months. Using an older image – even if it looks similar – can result in a rejected application, meaning you’ll have to take a new photo and resubmit your documents.
Not super keen on public photo service? For example, you don’t want to waste time lining up or making an appointment – or you just don’t like when your pictures are taken by a photographer in the post office.
If so, do them yourself easily from home – with our tried and tested tool meant to save your time and money, elevate quality, speed up passport picture verification, and make high-quality pictures with rocket speed.
