FAQ

Find answers to common questions about Photo-Me Australia’s photo booths, passport photos, printing services, and more.
Quick help for all your photo needs.

What should I Do if my photo has a fault?

If your photo has a visual fault — such as blurriness, glare, or other quality issues — we’re here to help. Get in touch with us, and we can arrange a refund if needed.

Why is my photo not printing?

Photos are available in a small window outside the booth immediately after printing. If you've already checked and your photo is not there after making a payment, please contact us — we’ll be happy to help and can arrange a refund if needed.

Can I get a refund if my ID photo was rejected?

You may be eligible for a refund if your photo was rejected due to a technical issue. If you recently submitted your ID photo for a passport, visa, or other official document and were later asked to retake the photo, we may be able to compensate you depending on the reason for the rejection.

Refunds are available if your photo was rejected due to:

1. A blurry image / 2. Lines or streaks through the photo / 3. Lens flare or glare on the image

To request a refund, please contact us with:

1. Proof of the failed application (e.g. screenshot of the rejection email or photo of the letter)

2. The time, date, and location of the machine used

Our support team will review your request and respond as soon as possible.

⚠️ Please note: We do not offer refunds if the photo was rejected due to:

1. Smiling / 2. Hair covering the face / 3. Wearing hats or accessories

These are user-related errors and are not eligible for compensation.

Official ID/Passport Photo Size

Our official ID photos adhere to strict international standards, with a photo frame size of 45mm x 35mm (ICAO compliant) and a head size (chin to crown) between 26mm and 30mm.

What can my photo be used for?

Our passport photo service provides government-compliant images that can be used for both online and paper Irish passport applications. We also offer standard ID photos suitable for any Irish document, but these are for physical use only. Additionally, some of our booths provide printed visa photos for countries such as the USA, China, Canada, and India. If you need a visa photo, please check which booth locations offer this service.

Will there be help available while I’m using the photo booth?

Our photo booths are fully self-service, giving you the freedom to take your photo at your own pace, with no rush. The booth provides clear, step-by-step instructions on screen and is designed to be very easy to use. If you need assistance, our Customer Care team is available to help Monday to Friday, from 6 AM to 10 PM.

What if I don’t like my photo? Do I still have to pay?

You only pay when you're happy with your photo. One of our key differences is ensuring customer satisfaction—so you can retake your photo as many times as you like. Once you're satisfied, you can proceed to payment, and the booth will print your photo.
