Questions
Fair questions, straight answers.
Is this an official Australian Passport Office or DFAT service?
No. We're an independent service that makes and checks passport photos — not affiliated with the Australian Passport Office or the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. The official passports.gov.au photo requirements are linked below if you'd rather do it yourself.
Australia asks for printed photos — can I still use this?
Yes. Australian passport applications take two printed photos, so we offer a print-ready 4×6 sheet to take to any photo printer as a checkout add-on alongside the finished file. Have it printed on good-quality glossy photo paper (the rules ask for heavy-weight, at least 200 gsm) rather than an inkjet at home, and lodge the two prints with your application.
Is the background meant to be white or grey?
Either. The Australian Passport Office accepts a plain white or plain light-grey background, as long as it clearly contrasts with your face. We render a plain light grey because pure white can wash out against pale skin and lose that contrast — grey keeps you clearly separated from the background.
What happens if my photo fails a check?
You won't be charged. We show you exactly which check failed and how to fix it — move closer, find better light, use a plainer background — so you can retake and try again for free.
What if my photo is rejected after I pay?
We refund you. Email info@readyvisaphoto.com with your order id (it is in your receipt, and on the page your refund link opens) and tell us it was rejected — the full amount goes back to your original card. No screenshots, no forms, no proof. Covers 30 days from purchase.
What happens to my photo?
It’s used only to run the checks, downloadable by you for 30 days, then deleted automatically. No account, no photo library, no reuse.
How long do I have to download my photo?
Your download link stays active for 30 days after purchase.
