Passport Photos at Kmart:
A Step-by-Step Guide

Kmart Passport Photos: Frequent Questions

1. Does Kmart do passport photos?

   No, the stores in Australia do not offer photo taking services.
    
   However, you can prepare a print-ready guaranteed passport photo here with PhotoBooth Online and print it at Kmart.

2. Does Kmart print passport photos?

   Yes, Kmart has photo centres where you can print the photos for your passport or other documents.
    
   You can print on the spot or order prints online and collect them in-store later – see instructions for both methods below.

3. How do I print a passport photo at a Kmart store?

   For that, you’ll need to use a Kmart’s Kodak Moments Kiosk – it’s a self-service photo printing station that connects to your phone by Wi-Fi.
    
   Here’s how it works:
    

   1. Prepare Your Photo: Get a 6 x 4″ digital passport photo template on this page – we’ll make it print-ready, meeting the required specifications like size, background colour, and so on. Before going to Kmart, make sure to have this image on your smartphone.
       
   2. Find a Kmart Photo Centre: If you don’t know where your closest store is, check the store locator to find a place where they offer photo printing services.
       
   3. Use the Kodak Moments Kiosk: Once in the store, look for the Kodak machine. On the screen with various formats, select the following options: Prints > Prints and Enlargements > 6 x 4″.
       
   4. Choose a Service Level: Select how quickly you want your print – Instant for $0.20, One Hour Service for $0.15, or Next Day Service for $0.10.
       
   5. Select “No Border”: When asked about borders, make sure not to add them.
       
   6. Upload Your Template: Choose the method of printing – select Mobile Device and Use Direct Transfer to add the template right from your smartphone.
       
   7. Connect to the Kiosk via Wi-Fi: Use the network name on the screen. When connected, the kiosk will show you a QR code – scan it to transfer your template from your phone, then tap Continue.
       
   8. Confirm and Finalize Your Order: On the next screen, don’t edit the uploaded photo in any way – just tap Checkout. When asked to select a print finish, choose Glossy, then tap Continue and Place Order.
       
   9. Make Payment and Print Your Template: Next, select Pay at Counter or Pay Here (using the terminal). After payment, you’ll get a receipt – scan it at the other screen of the kiosk. Once scanned, it will print your passport photo instantly.

4. How do I print passport photos using Kmart's online service?

   1. Prepare Your Photo: Use our online service to create a print-ready 4×6″ (10x15cm) template and save it on your device (phone or PC).
       
   2. Go to Kmart Online Printing Website: Once there, enter your suburb or postal code to select the store where you’ll pick up your prints.
       
   3. Choose Print Size and Finish: In the dropdown menu titled Select a Size, choose 4×6″ (10x15cm) Print and select Glossy as the finish. Click Order Prints.
       
   4. Create an Account (If Needed): If you don’t have an account, you’ll need to sign up before proceeding.

   6. Review: On the Review & Edit page, do not edit your photo – simply click Add To Bag.
       
   7. Confirm Order Details: In the shopping bag, ensure you have only one print (one printed template contains four passport photo copies) and click Proceed to Checkout.
       
   8. Select Pickup Method: Choose Click & Collect (Free), meaning your print will be ready for pickup at your selected store the next day – it’ll cost $0.10 (this is the only option). Click Proceed to Checkout again.
       
   9. Enter Your Details: Provide your billing address, then click Next. Enter your name and phone number for pickup identification, then click Next again.

5. How much do Kmart passport photos cost?

   It depends on the way you get your images printed:
    

   • If you print them in your local Kmart store, they will cost either $0.20 (instant prints), $0.15 (one-hour service), or $0.10 (next-day pickup).
      
   • When printing your passport photos online on Kmart’s website, it’ll cost $0.10 for next-day pickup (this is the only option available for online printing).

6. Why use PhotoBooth Online when Kmart has its own photo app?

   
    
   The Kmart Photos app will not check your passport photo – you can only upload a pre-prepared template and order its printed copies online.
    
   Meanwhile, PhotoBooth Online is most useful when you need to take passport photos from scratch and have them checked against the passport requirements. If there’s something wrong with your image rules-wise, our service will automatically make compliant corrections (crop to the correct size or remove background, if you choose it) and verify the resulting photo to make sure the government accepts it.
    
   Plus, your photo will be double-checked by a human expert.

7. Will the passport office accept photos made in PhotoBooth Online and printed at Kmart?

   Yes, they will.
    
   Our advanced photo processing algorithms ensure that every passport photo meets the Australian government’s official requirements. Whenever these standards change, we promptly update our system to stay compliant – every processed photo will have the correct size and proportions, a plain background, proper contrast, and so on.
    
   After processing, each photo is also manually reviewed by a human expert to ensure it meets all quality and compliance standards.

8. What are the benefits of PhotoBooth Online?

   Get Passport Photos Cheaper

   An out-of-home photo take may cost $20 or more. Save money by doing it yourself here and printing at a Kmart photo centre. Or use your own printer and pay nothing at all.

   Stay at Home

   What with today’s increased pace of life, going someplace for a photo take may disrupt your schedule. With PhotoBooth Online, you don’t have to go anywhere. Simply upload and get your passport photo right here.

   Print Straight Away

   The Australian passport office requires you submit two photos for your new passport. We keep that detail in mind. PhotoBooth Online can give you a neat template with six copies of your image.

   Keep the High Quality

   Many online photo services make photos a bit fuzzy. As for us, we don’t compromise on quality. If you upload a high-definition image, your passport photo will still be in HD.

   Submit and Forget

   The AU government is pretty strict when it comes to photo size, proportions, et cetera, et cetera. You don’t need to bother. We’ll make sure you’re all good and the passport office accepts your photos.

   Be As Picky As You Like

   We all can get quite fussy when it comes to photos of ourselves. Most photographers won’t bear with you to take snap after snap until you get a perfect Kmart passport photo. Unlike them, our site lets you take your time.
