Identification for online licence applications
When you apply online for an approval or licence to work as an employee in the liquor or gaming industry, you will be asked to supply personal information to help verify your identity. This eliminates the need to mail copies of your identification (ID) documentation to the Office of Liquor and Gaming Regulation (OLGR) and reduces the time taken to process your application.
The ID documentation required to verify your identity online is:
- one (1) legible copy of ID from Category A
- and
- one (1) other copy of ID from either Category A or B from the list below.
| Category A examples | Category B examples |
|---|---|
| Australian passport | Phone book (White Pages) |
| Employment visa (foreign passport) | Australian electoral roll |
| Queensland driver licence/proof-of-age card | Optus account |
| ACT (Canberra) driver licence | Medicare card |
| South Australia driver licence | Medibank private health insurance |
| Victorian driver licence | Queensland University of Technology graduates |
| Western Australia driver licence | Other databases such as: property owners/residents file, phone transaction history |
