The easiest way is to get your photo taken by a professional passport photo provider, such as Australia Post.
Photo size and quality requirements:
- two identical, good quality colour prints
- be less than six months old
- photos must be 35mm to 40mm wide and 45mm to 50mm high. The size of the face from chin to crown can be up to a maximum of 36mm, with a minimum of 32mm.
Subject:
- eyes are open and clearly visible
- face is centred and looking directly at the camera with no side profiles
- facial expression is neutral (not smiling, laughing or frowning)
- hair is off the edges of your face
- no glasses, hats or objects obstructing view of the face (from your chin to your forehead and on either side)
- if applicable - head coverings should be plain and still allow the edges of your face to be clearly visible.
Other factors that make a photo acceptable are:
- even lighting on your face
- background is plain white or light grey
- Do not overexpose the image, features be clear and distinguishable at a glance
- final image must be true likeness of the subject
- no retouching or filters of photos permitted

Certifying your photos
Photos must be certified by a qualified witness - a Lawyer, Justice of Peace, Commissioner of Declarations, Notary Public or QBCC staff member - and will only be valid for 10 years once received by the QBCC.
Digital licence holders
If you’ve added your QBCC licence to the Queensland Digital Licence app, good news, you don’t need to submit a separate photo.
When you add a Queensland Government-issued product (e.g. driver’s licence, marine licence, or adult proof of age card) to the app, the photo from that product is automatically imported into your QBCC digital licence.
This means:
- no need to upload or submit a new photo
- your existing government-verified photo is securely reused
- your QBCC digital licence is ready to go, with your photo already in place.
Just download the Queensland Digital Licence app, add your government-issued ID, and then add your QBCC licence. It’s that simple. Learn more.
