What is the cheapest way to get a passport photo in Australia?

Make the file with SurePassportPhoto for $6.99 and print the 4 x 6 in sheet at a store photo kiosk or counter. The sheet holds several photos, so spare copies cost nothing extra. For Australian Passport Photo, Australian Citizenship Photo and Australian Citizenship Photo the authority restricts photos made at home or online, so use a photo taken in person for those.

Which stores in Australia print passport photos from a file?

The store pages we saved do not say whether Australia Post and Ted's Cameras print a file you bring, so ask before you go. If they do, ask for the sheet printed at exact size with no cropping.

Does SurePassportPhoto mail prints?

No. We do not mail prints or send orders to stores. You download the file and the print sheet and take them to any of the stores listed here.

Check

Ask the branch before you bring a file

Some stores refuse to print anything called a passport photo that they did not take themselves, and online 'same-day pickup' orders from other photo services have failed to reach the store. Ask the branch first, order our sheet as a plain 4 x 6 in print, and cut along the marks yourself.

Note

Documents the authority wants taken in person

For these Australia documents the authority restricts photos made at home or online, so a photo taken in person is the safer route: Australian Passport Photo, Australian Citizenship Photo (digital, online application), Australian Citizenship Photo (printed, paper application).
