Australia does not have a national identity card. Instead, various documents may be used or required to prove a person’s identity, whether for government or commercial purposes such as:

International and domestic travel
Starting a job with a new employer
Obtaining social welfare
Opening bank accounts
Asserting identity with government agencies or companies
General-purpose validation of identity when picking up goods etc.
At the request of police or security officers for legally valid purposes.

Asserting that one is a responsible adult (generally 18 years or over in Australia) to:
Access age-restricted venues such as licensed premises, casinos, nightclubs or other gaming venues.
Purchase of alcohol, tobacco, knives or aerosol-based spray paint.

Currently, driver licences, issued by the state and territory authorities, are the most widely used personal identification documents. Driver licences list a person’s full name, date of birth, current address and contain a photograph.
