Proof of identity
An applicant making an over the counter request will need to
provide a source of photographic identity, such as a current
passport or drivers licence, for the processing officer to sight
at the time of application.
Mailed requests should attach a certified copy of a
photographic identity document, such as a passport or drivers
licence. Certified copies are stamped as being true copies of
the original by an authorised person.
An authorised person includes a solicitor, migration agent,
Justice of the Peace or a Commonwealth Public Servant with
5 years service.
