At least one of the identity documents must include a photo of the Applicant.

The ID uploaded must show the same name as the name on the application. If you have been known by another name, you need to upload a copy of the change of name document.

The following are not acceptable:

• Expired documents with the exception of an Australian Passport which can be up to 3 years expired.
• The same document uploaded twice
• A private health insurance card - it must be a Medicare card.
