New! Digital driver licence

You can now use your Australian digital driver licence for passport services.

This means you can use your digital licence when lodging a passport application or picking up a passport.

You’ll need to show us your digital driver licence on a smartphone so it can be visually checked. Screenshots or offline versions won’t be accepted.

The states that currently offer a digital driver licence service are South Australia, New South Wales, Queensland and Victoria.   

Don't have a digital driver licence? Don't worry, you can use your physical driver licence. We'll continue to accept physical driver licences for all passport services.
