Making false statements and/or fraudulently obtaining an identification card is a serious offence, which may result in prosecution.

You need to provide proof of your identity with your application. These documents should be originals. Photocopies cannot be accepted.

You will need:

• a document from Category A
• a document from Category B.

Category A

• Full Australian birth certificate
• Passport
• Naturalisation certificate
• Immigration papers
• Citizenship papers

Category B

• Driver licence or learner permit
• Health Care Card
• Credit card or bank passbook
• Medicare card
• Shooter's licence
• Student identification card.

Change of name

If you have changed your name, through marriage or otherwise, you must also provide documents as evidence of this change.

Non-residents

Non-residents, international students, asylum seekers and refugees must also provide clear copies of their documentation confirming their eligibility to stay or study in Australia.

You now need to get your application witnessed by another person.

This person should be someone who:

• has known you for 12 months or longer
• is also on the Australian electoral roll.

The person needs to see your:

• completed application form
• original versions of your proof of identity documents
• name change documents if applicable.

They need to complete and sign the 'referee's declaration' section on the application form.

Next, you will need to sign your application in the presence of an authorised person.

A list of people who can witness you signing the application is provided in Section 8 of the form.

The authorised person will also check the documents you have provided as proof of your identity. They will complete and sign the authorised person section within the ’applicant’s declaration'.

The authorised person can be the same person who signed your 'referee’s declaration' if they meet the requirements of both sections.

To lodge your application, visit an approved photo point agency listed below with:

• your signed and witnessed application form
• your original proof of identity documents with you. The agency will need to see them to accept your application form.

They will take a photo of you to add to your application.
