    • Your name must match across your documents

    • A Standard myID allows access to most participating government online services.

      For a Standard identity strength, you need to verify your ID with any 2 of the following Australian documents:

      • passport (an Australian passport, either current or no more than 3 years expired)

      • drivers licence or learner’s permit

      • birth certificate

      • visa (using your foreign passport)

      • ImmiCard

      • citizenship certificate

      • Medicare card (this option appears after you verify one of the above documents). 

    • For each identity document that includes photo identification, the app may prompt you to verify your photo. You don’t need to do this if you’ve achieved the minimum identity strength for the online service you want to access.
