Australia Passport from the UK: ignore GOV.UK sizes
Scope lock: this URL is for Australia Passport travel-document photos only — licence and national-ID copy live on their own pages.
Many people in the United Kingdom order a Australia Passport while renewing from abroad, booking a US consular appointment, or submitting an online US form. GOV.UK photo rules do not apply to that file — only Australia specifications on this page do.
This article is scoped to Australia Passport as a Australia travel / passport photo (35 × 45 mm, Light grey). Driving-licence and national-ID wording is not pasted here.
British applicants routinely paste a 35 × 45 mm HMPO-style portrait into a Australia form. That portrait is legal for a UK passport — and wrong for Australia Passport at 35 × 45 mm on Light grey.
Australian passport guidance centres on 35 × 45 mm. If you selected Australia Passport, ignore that local default and keep 35 × 45 mm with Light grey.
Practical UK workflow: selfie in daylight near a window (avoid yellow tungsten alone), confirm Australia Passport, upload here, then attach the export to the Australia online tool or take it to your London / Belfast / Edinburgh consular packet — not a high-street “UK passport” booth ticket.
35 × 45 mm vs Australia Passport geometry
UK passport guidance is a tall rectangle. Australia Passport needs 35 × 45 mm (exact millimetres above). Phone “perspective” tools cannot invent the missing width legally.
If a UK chemist already printed 35 × 45 mm, leave that print for UK renewals. Generate a separate Australia Passport file on FotoPass for Australia passport filings.
Filing Australia Passport from England, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland
Online Australia passport renewals accept digital photos when the crop matches Australia rules. Embassy / consulate appointments serving UK residents still expect the same 35 × 45 mm standard — bring the newest download, not last year’s holiday snap.

Australia passport photo — what people search
This page is scoped to Australia Passport only: 35 × 45 mm on a Light grey background. Licence or national-ID crops belong on their own document pages.
Queries such as “Australia passport photo size” and “biometric passport photo” should land here — not on a driving-licence tool with a coincidentally similar millimetre size.
Australia passport note
Australian Passport Office habits centre on 35 × 45 mm. Australia Passport on this page is 35 × 45 mm / Light grey — do not assume a chemist “passport” SKU matches without checking.

Treat UK and Australia photo products as two different SKUs — this page only manufactures the Australia Passport passport one.
