    How Many Prints Do I Need for a Passport Application?

    For a standard Australian adult passport application (paper form), you typically need 1 print attached to the application form.

    However, having a second print is useful:

    • One for the application
    • One as a backup in case the first is damaged

    Our print-ready PDF includes 6 prints per A4 sheet — useful for family applications.

    Printing at Officeworks or Kmart

    To print a digital photo at Officeworks or Kmart:

    1. Bring the JPEG file on a USB drive or upload it at the kiosk 2. Select '35×45 mm' photo size or 'passport size' 3. Confirm 300 DPI or higher 4. Use the matte/semi-gloss paper option if available 5. Collect and check — confirm no marks, folds, or colour shifts
