Australia Passport & Citizenship Photos in Atlanta

A: Australia requires a front facing pose with no head tilt or turning. Expressions must be neutral. A neutral expression is an expression with eyes open, mouth closed, where the individual is neither smiling or frowning. Danielle Brown Photography will instruct you during your passport photo appointment how to post and what expression is appropriate for your Australian passport or citizenship photo.

A: Per the Government of Australia, hats or headwear are permissible for religious reasons, such as hijabs or turbans. A hat or headwear for fashion purposes would cause your passport photo to be rejected.

Religious head coverings must be plain or a solid color, without patterns (even small patterns).

A: Glasses are not permitted for Australian passport photos. Glasses will only be accepted if they cannot be medically removed. Vision impairment is not a sufficient reason for your passport photo to include glasses.

A: Danielle Brown Photography charges $39.95+tax for a single individual passport photo session with one set of passport photos for any non-United States country, including Australia.

A: For all of our Australian passport or citizenship photos, as well as other biometric photos, hard copy photos are printed on-site at the time of your appointment. If you request a digital image, we offer delivery via email or other file-sharing options. You would leave the appointment (about 20 minutes) with either a hard copy photo, a digital version, or both.

A: As we are a busy photography studio with assignments taking us all over the Atlanta metro area, we cannot guarantee we are in the studio during normal business hours. For that reason, we ask all of our passport photo clients to make an appointment. Appointments may be made on short notice if needed, as our schedule permits.

A: Yes, most countries have a six month window for your photo to be considered valid for passport or visa use. If your photo has been taken within the required window of time, Danielle Brown Photography can reformat your photo for another country’s specification. Reformatting your photo for another country’s specification is available for a $10 reformatting charge.

A: Absolutely. Printing additional sets are available at $5 per additional set. Australia requires two (2) passport or citizenship application photos for a standard submission. Printing after your session is $10 per set + any shipping/mailing expenses.

A: Your passport photo fee ($39.95+tax) includes both physical prints and digital images for an online submission. There is no additional fee for both formats or discount if you do not get prints. Please ask for your digital images to be emailed to you or sent via another digital delivery mechanism, such as sending files via Dropbox or Google Drive.

Side note about uploading digital files for your passport application: to avoid a device/cloud storage encoding any additional information on your digital file, Danielle Brown Photography recommends downloading your file (from email or cloud storage) to a local folder and then uploading your file from desktop/local storage.

A: Most clients coming in for Australian passport or Australia citizenship photos are usually done in 20 minutes per person. For larger groups (four people or more), Danielle encourages coming in for the actual photo sitting and returning to pick up formatted copies, to avoid waiting.

A: Absolutely. Printing additional sets are available at $5 per additional set. Australia requires two (2) passport or citizenship application photos for a standard submission.

A: Danielle Brown Photography has no affiliation with the Australian passport authority. Because we cannot guarantee that your passport or citizenship application is successful, we offer a reshoot or reformat guarantee. If your passport or citizenship application is rejected because your photo did not meet specifications, Danielle Brown Photography stands by our clients. Reformatting or retaking your photo is provided at no charge until your photo is accepted by the passport agency.
