Renewing online? Australia takes the photo from a photo provider using a photo code, so you can’t upload your own photo there. Use this size for printed photos.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I upload my own photo for an online renewal?
No. Online renewals use a photo code from an approved photo provider. Printed photos are for paper applications.
What background does a passport photo need?
Most countries ask for plain white or light grey. Check the rules for your country: some, such as Canada and the UK, don’t accept edited photos.
My application has a file size limit. What do I do?
Set it under File Size. Online application cards already have the file size limit, and the tool keeps the file inside it.
Does it work on phones?
Yes. It works in modern mobile browsers, and iPhone HEIC photos open directly.
