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

F.A.Q. on Kmart Photos

1. How to print a passport photo at a Kmart store?

   1. Prepare a digital passport photo template that meets the required specifications like size, background colour, and so on (you can get a correct template on this page). Make sure to have the image on your smartphone and download the app called Kodak Moment.
       
   2. Visit your closest store that has a Kmart photo centre (check the website or call ahead to confirm that they offer photo printing services).
       
   3. Access the printing kiosk in the photo department and select the following options: Print and Enlargements – Make prints and Enlargements – Make Prints in Seconds. Make sure you do not add a white border.
       
   4. Choose the method of printing (from your smartphone) and the type of your device (iOS or Android).
       
   5. Connect to the kiosk via Wi-Fi using the on-screen password and transfer your photo from your phone.
       
   6. Mark the uploaded photo, choose the correct size (it’s 6×4″ or 15×10 cm) and tap Proceed. Check the total amount and tap Place Order.
       
   7. Wait for your picture to be printed and make your payment at the cashier desk.

2. Does Kmart do passport photos?

   Currently, none of the Kmart stores in Australia offer such a service. However, they have special photo centres where you can print your passport photos or photos for other documents. If you have your passport photo saved in your phone, you can use Kmart’s Kodak Moments Kiosk. These are self-service photo printing stations that connect to your phone by Wi-Fi.

3. How much do Kmart passport photos cost?

   The total price depends on the way you want to get your images printed. Once you’ve got your digital photos ready for printing, you have two options.
    
   The first one is to visit your local Kmart store yourself and have your prints of passport photos ready in a matter of minutes. In that case, these prints will cost you ten cents only.
    
   As an alternative, you can order photo printing online on Kmart’s website or mobile app. They don’t have sections dedicated to passport photos exactly, but they do allow you to set the photo sizes you need.
    
   If you choose to collect the printed images yourself, the price will be the same. But if you want them delivered straight to your home address, the price will be considerably higher. Please also note that you can’t pay on delivery here – you’ll have to pay for your photos when ordering them.

4. What's the point of using PhotoBooth Online when Kmart has its own photo application?

   
   The Kmart Photos App is most useful when you want to order passport photos online. Meanwhile, PhotoBooth Online is a go-to when you need to prepare your image per the passport requirements there are in Australia.
    
   Kmart’s app does allow you to retouch your photo, but you have to do it yourself, and the passport office will likely reject a manually-edited image. In comparison, our site edits automatically and verifies the resulting photo to make sure the government will accept it.

5. What are the benefits of PhotoBooth Online?

   Get Passport Photos Cheaper

   An out-of-home photo take may prove costly (say, it’s $16.95 at Officeworks). 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.

6. Will the Australian Passport Office accept passport photos made via PhotoBooth Online?

   Yes, they will. Our photo processing algorithms follow the Australian government’s requirements on passport photos. And whenever these requirements alter, we update the algorithms accordingly. So each photo we process has the right size and proportions, plain background, proper contrast, even lighting and no shadows.
    
   Plus, we can prepare a two-image template used for passports and other documents. Once your passport photos are ready (and this will be quick), you can download and have them printed at the nearest store, no further actions required.
