Before you take it

  • Lay your baby on a plain light grey sheet, or seat them against a plain light grey wall.
  • Face a window or soft light: even light on the face, no shadows on it or behind.

Check and make your photo

The first photo loads the face finder and the background outline from this site, about 15 MB, once.

The face finder and the background outline run in this page from files served by this site (sources and licences). They find where a face is in the photo; they never recognise who it is.

For an adult or older child: Australia visa photo

Home Affairs asks for a digital photo for each visa applicant, including children, and its visa photo help points to the citizenship photo page, which has a section for babies and infants: a child under 3 may have their mouth open, and no other person or object can be in the photo. Home Affairs recommends a professional passport photo provider and says it doesn't recommend online photo services or apps.

Questions

What size is the Australia visa photo for baby?
Printed, 35 x 45 mm. The file: JPEG; 70 KB to 3,500 KB. These are the official rules as checked on 12 November 2026. This page makes a 933 x 1,200 pixel JPEG file.
What background does the Australia visa photo for baby need?
Neutral or light grey, contrasting with the face.
Do my baby's eyes need to be open in the Australia visa photo for baby?
Even a baby's eyes must be open: Home Affairs shows a child's photo with closed eyes as unacceptable. Only the mouth may be open, under 3.

Can my baby wear a hat in the Australia visa photo for baby?

How recent must my Australia visa photo for baby be?
Taken in the last 6 months. These are the official rules as checked on 12 November 2026.
Can I take my Australia visa photo for baby at home?
The official rules, as checked on 12 November 2026, ask for no photographer or studio, so a photo taken at home can meet them if it meets every rule on this page.
Is my photo uploaded?
No. The photo is read and checked in your browser, and any file is saved on your device. The page tells our server only that a photo was checked, that it passed, or that a file was saved; never the photo, your face or any measurement. It finds where your face is in the photo; it never recognises who you are.
How is the head measured?
The page finds your chin and eyes in the photo and estimates the top of your head from your forehead, since hair hides it: the dashed line shows the estimate. If it is not at the top of your head, move it with Top of head and the checks follow.
Will my photo be accepted?
Only the issuing authority decides. A photo that passes every check here meets the published size, head and background rules as checked on 12 November 2026; you confirm the rest, such as glasses, expression and how recent the photo is.
