In 2025, the Victorian Institute of Teaching (VIT) is phasing out physical registration cards and moving to a digital solution.
The new digital VIT registration card is a digital version of the current physical card and will be rolled out to all registered early childhood teachers throughout the year.
Currently, registered early childhood teachers in Victoria can prove their registration via the register of teachers and Employer portal, or by showing their employer a physical registration card.
The digital solution will streamline registration and offer other benefits to teachers and employers, read more about them here.
Making it easier to prove teacher registration
The VIT has engaged Service Victoria to develop and host the new digital VIT registration card on the Service Victoria app, providing employers and teachers with convenient access to real-time proof of registration.
Using the same digital wallet that stores Victorian digital driver licences, teachers can easily retrieve and show their registration details via their smart phone or tablet device whenever they need to prove their registration status.
Employers scan the QR code in the digital card to confirm the teacher’s registration status via the register of teachers for real-time verification. For the purposes of the Education and Care Services National Regulations, the service’s staff record will still require a record of the identifying number of the teacher registration and the expiry date of that registration.
Registered early childhood teachers
From August 2025, registered early childhood teachers who complete their 2025-26 annual registration tasks will be issued with a digital registration card.
If you were issued with a physical registration card during the 2024-25 annual registration period, you can use this card to verify your registration until Tuesday 30 September 2025. You will be issued with a digital VIT registration card following the approval of your 2025-26 annual registration application.
New applicants will be issued with a digital registration card once their application for early childhood teacher registration has been approved (anytime in 2025).
