International Passport Photos
International passport photos on the Gold Coast, prepared to official foreign passport requirements.
When applying for a passport from another country, the photo specifications are often more complex than people expect. Requirements can vary by country in relation to dimensions, head size, background colour, print quantity, cropping, facial expression, and digital file format. Even small differences can matter.
Gold Coast Passport Photography provides foreign passport photos for a broad range of international applications, prepared carefully in a private professional studio in Runaway Bay. Our studio lighting is configured to conform to ICAO lighting standards, with each final photo prepared to the official rules of the issuing country.
We regularly assist clients requiring passport photos for countries such as the United States, Canada, China, India, Japan, the United Kingdom, Ireland, South Africa, Hong Kong, and many others. Depending on the issuing authority, we can provide printed photos, digital image files, or both.
For clients seeking a more careful alternative to generic retail passport photos, this service offers a more controlled and country-specific approach. The result is a passport photo prepared to the required format while still looking natural, clear, and well presented.
International passport photo requirements can vary in relation to:
overall photo dimensions
exact head size and crop
background colour and tone
expression and facial positioning
rules around glasses
hair placement and facial visibility
head coverings and religious attire
lighting, shadows, and contrast
image clarity and facial detail
print paper type and finish
digital file format and image quality
number of prints required
If you are unsure what your country requires, simply tell us which passport you are applying for and we will confirm the correct photo specifications before your session.

How It Works
We Confirm Your Photo Requirements
Tell us which country or application your photo is for, and we’ll confirm the correct specifications before we begin. This ensures everything is set up properly from the start.
We Capture Your Best Shot
Using controlled studio lighting and careful positioning, we guide you through posture and expression to capture your photo with precision. You’ll review the image on screen, and if needed we’ll adjust and reshoot until you’re happy.
We Triple Check Compliance
Your image is checked against the relevant requirements and prepared in the format you need, whether that’s prints, a digital file, or both. Every detail is handled carefully so you can submit with confidence.
A Passport Photo You'll Actually Be Happy With
We carefully guide posture, neutral expression, and alignment so your photo reflects how you naturally look. This is not an awkward or snapshot rush service. We take the time to refine the image until you look like the best version of you.
Behind the scenes, professional studio lighting, calibrated equipment, and accurate biometric framing ensure your photo is prepared to official specifications — without distortion, shadows, or guesswork.
The result is a photo that's clear, balanced, and professionally prepared — one you'll walk out with sorted, and be happy to see on your identification for the next ten years.
Compliance doesn't mean compromising on quality
Do I need to make an appointment?
Yes — We have limited sessions available and making an appointment ensures your session runs on time. You can book online through our calendar, or call the studio if you'd rather speak with us first.
How much do passport photos cost?
Sessions start at $25 for a print-only service. Our most popular option "the print and digital file combo" is $55. Every session includes on-screen review and approval before we print. No surprises, no reprints to chase.
How long does the session take?
Most International passport photo sessions run 20–25 minutes, including on-screen review and approval before we print. Once approved, your prints are ready before you leave the studio, and digital files are emailed straight to your inbox.
Will my photo meet International passport requirements?
Every International passport photo we take is prepared to the ICAO specifications. We review the image on screen and check against the issuing authority requirements, so you leave the studio confident your photo is ready to submit.
Do you photograph babies and children?
Yes. We regularly photograph infants, toddlers, and older children for International passport, visa, and ID photos. The studio is calm, the techniques are patient and safe, and we're experienced with restless little ones.
Where is the Gold Coast studio located?
We're at Suite 11, 12–18 Bayview Street, Runaway Bay, just a few minutes from Australia Fair, Harbour Town, and Runaway Bay Shopping Centre. On-site parking is available behind the cafe.

"I got a shot I loved"
I had the BEST experience with Paul getting my passport photo taken! He was so incredibly kind, knowledgeable and helpful and really made sure I got a shot I loved and that I felt confident in! He even printed a couple of sizes to make sure it’d definitely be accepted at a post office. 10/10 for service and outcome, can’t recommend this enough ☺️"
