7Applying for a proof of age card

Instead of carrying your passport around, you can apply for a proof of age card and use it as a form of photo ID in Australia. These cards typically show your name, address, date of birth and photo.
Each state/territory has its own application process, but the cards are recognised throughout Australia:

In a few states/territories, the application process can be challenging for newcomers. For instance, in Victoria, someone who has known you for a minimum of 12 months and who is listed on the electoral roll must complete and sign the “Referee’s declaration.”

Note that if you are living in a state/territory that requires you to switch your home licence for their state driving licence, you can use your Australian driving licence as ID instead of applying for the proof of age card.
