Australia passport, visa and immigration photo requirements
WinPhoto ID covers 6 Australia documents, and the 5 with a photo size on record have the same one: 35 x 45 mm. Of the 6, this site checks your photo and makes the file for 2, checks the photo you already have, without changing it, for 3 and gives the rules only for 1, where there is no photo to prepare. Find your document in the table: each name opens its own page, with the official source and the date it was read.
Your photo stays on your device: nothing is uploaded, and no face is recognised.
Official rules read between and . Each document's page gives its own date and source. WinPhoto is not affiliated with any government. Only the issuing authority decides whether it accepts a photo.
Australia photo rules, document by document
