Where to Order an Australian ID Card? Check Out These Top-Rated Providers Online

Hey everyone, I want to share my experience with ordering an Australian ID card. It was a bit of a journey, but I finally got it done.

First, I started by doing some digging online to find out where I could even get one of these things. I stumbled upon a few websites that claimed they could make “genuine” Australian ID cards. They had all these guarantees and even video proof. It all seemed a bit sketchy, to be honest. Then I found some sites, that talked about getting an ID card, and they mentioned this “Global Documents” place as a good option. The prices seemed reasonable, and they promised fast shipping.

I also read that Drawtify could be a good option for making an ID card. But then I remembered reading that the best way is to apply for a formal Photo ID card while in Australia at a local state or territory motor registry, like Service NSW or Service Vic. This seemed like the most legit way to go, even though I don’t drive.

So, I decided to go with the official route. I gathered all the documents they listed, like my passport, which is a valid document in Australia. I already had an Australian driver’s license from a previous trip, so I included that too.

Next, I headed over to the Service NSW office. The process there was pretty straightforward. I filled out the application form, showed them my documents, and paid the fee. They took my photo right there, which was convenient.

After that, it was just a matter of waiting. They told me it would take a few weeks to process. I kept an eye on my mailbox, and sure enough, a few weeks later, my new Australian ID card arrived!

Here’s a summary of the documents I used:

• Passport (Australian or foreign)
• Australian driver licence or learner permit, or foreign driver licence
• Australian proof of age card
• Embassy/consulate photo identity card

Overall, I’m glad I went through the official channels. It might have taken a bit longer, but I feel much better knowing I have a legitimate ID card. Plus, I didn’t have to deal with any of those shady online services. If you’re looking to get an Australian ID card, I highly recommend going through your local motor registry. It’s the safest and most reliable way to do it!
