A really easy format to get passport pictures. Very fast response to my questions via email.
Excellent service. Very good software that enhanced our photos. They also did a manual check and had me redo one of the pictures for free. I have only used online passport photos for more than 10 years. This is by far the best.
Can't thank these people enough, they have gone above and beyond today to produce a lovely passport photograph from my poor photograph. Thank you for all your efforts. I would recommend this company good value, professional and kind.

You cannot have glasses or sunglasses even if normally you would wear them for driving. There are some exceptions when it comes to some health problems. If it is medically approved, glasses may be accepted. Moreover, your head coverings can’t include hats etc., except for religious reasons. In that situation both edges of your face must be clearly shown and facial features from bottom of chin to top of forehead.

About the document
Driving licence photo size and requirements
The driver’s licence is an official title that allows Australians to drive various types of vehicles on public roads. If you are from abroad, the law in Australia varies from state to state. Some administrative units require an international driving license along with a valid driving license issued in the driver's country of origin. Unlike other states, they will respect a driving license issued in another country, but only if they have a copy translated into English. However, in most Australian states (except Northern Territory) you can legally drive a car with only a foreign driving license as long as it is valid. However, you can only drive these vehicles under the conditions that your driving license permits you to drive them in your country of origin.
The driver's licence, among other data, also includes the driving licence photo which must follow the established standards. In Australia depending on the states, requirements for driving licence photo can differ. The driving licence photo has to meet certain requirements - which can be found at the bottom of this page.
