Question 1

What are the Australian driving licence photo requirements?

Accepted Answer

Australian driving licence photos follow AUSTROADS guidelines. The photo must be 35×45mm with a plain white or light grey background. Head height should be 32–36mm. Your expression must be neutral with your mouth closed, eyes open and looking directly at the camera. The photo must be taken within the last 6 months. Glasses are not recommended.

Question 2

Is the driving licence photo the same as a passport photo in Australia?

Accepted Answer

The size is the same — 35×45mm — and the biometric requirements are very similar. Both require a plain light background, neutral expression, and open eyes. However, state licensing authorities process photos independently, so always confirm the current requirements with your state's road authority (e.g. Service NSW, VicRoads, TMR Queensland).

Question 3

Can I use an online photo for my Australian driving licence?

Accepted Answer

Many Australian state licensing authorities accept digitally prepared photos when submitted online or in person. ID Wizard produces a high-resolution JPEG at the correct 35×45mm dimensions, ready for digital submission or print.

Question 4

What background do I need for an Australian driving licence photo?

Accepted Answer

The background must be plain white or a very light grey. There should be no patterns, shadows, or other people in the background. ID Wizard automatically removes and replaces your background to meet this requirement.

Question 5

Are glasses allowed in an Australian driving licence photo?

Accepted Answer

Glasses are not recommended for Australian driving licence photos. Reflections, tinted lenses, or frames that obscure your eyes are not accepted. To avoid any risk of rejection, remove glasses before taking your photo.

Question 6

What if my photo is rejected?

Accepted Answer

You get a full refund. Email hallo@id-wizard.com with the rejection reason and we'll resolve it immediately.
