Document of Identity (Australia)
- Document of Identity (Australia)
-
A Document of Identity is a form of identification issued to Australian citizens by the Federal Government of Australia. The primary purpose of the Document of Identity is to allow an Australian citizen to travel to Norfolk Island without the need for a passport. Australian citizens can apply for a Document of Identity from Australia Post.
By the Australian Passports Determination 2005 a Document of identity is also issued to people to whom it is unnecessary or undesirable to issue a passport. This includes people who have been denied a passport due to them having an outstanding arrest warrant for them, Australian citizens who request a document of identity instead of a passport; Australian citizens who are transgender; Australian citizens being repatriated or deported to Australia or extradited; and Australian citizens whose travel the Minister believes should be restricted.
Documents of Identity are issued free to travel to Norfolk Island, but other Documents of Identity are usually only for a single journey, and for a limited period. Many countries do not recognize a Document of Identity as a valid travel document.
