Passport photos
Your passport photo must be less than 6 months old, and meet certain requirements. You can either use a professional service or ask someone you know to take your photo. Selfies are not accepted.
Option 1: Use a passport photo service
You can get your photo taken:
- at Warehouse Stationery's guaranteed passport photo service
- at selected pharmacies, or
- by a professional photographer.
Ask the photographer to email you a digital copy of the photo. Scans of physical photos will not be accepted.
Check your photo meets our technical requirements
Option 2: Ask someone you know to take your photo
If you get a friend or family member to take your photo, first check how to take a photo that meets passport requirements.
Your application may be delayed if your photo doesn't meet requirements.
You cannot use a selfie in your passport. If the camera is too close, your face will look distorted and the photo may be rejected when a passport officer checks it.
