Passport photos

Legend100

Hi all, my partner's passport has expired and needs a renewal. The info with the application says that the photos are different to the Australia equivalent. Can anyone recommend somewhere in Sydney (preferably in the city) where we can get the Irish dimension photos? Thanks

Any place that does passport photos should ask you what it's for and will have the correct dimensions on file.

Just say its for an Irish passport.

It's called the international template.
Irish office prefers black and white also.
Make sure the passport photo shop is digital, most are these days anyway
I did one here in July, no problem

can I ask how long yours took to process?
the website says 6-8 weeks but might be longer in summer at home

Why does it need to be digital?

It doesn't need to be digital per se but will be less faffing about with it.
They take one shot and can print in black and white or colour at any size.
I've used it for US visas and Irish passport, in and out 5-7 minutes.
Using the manual camera it's a colour photo and may take a couple of shots depending on the photographer.

To answer the other question.
I was actually in Ireland in July so submitted the application on day I got there, it was back within the week. My brother got his renewed in NZ last year and it took 3.5 weeks

I sent off mine to Canberra for renewal about 4 weeks ago and it has only showed up on the Passport Tracker yesterday
