The easiest way to share your photo with us is to include a PDF copy of your Queensland driver licence from the Queensland Digital Licence app. Alternatively, you can get your photo taken by a professional passport photo provider, such as Australia Post, who can provide a printed photo or email you a digital JPEG.
More information about photo requirements for your passport-style photos are listed at the QBCC website qbcc.build/passport-size-photos.

Digital licence holders
When adding 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.
