iPhone guides for Australian ID: scan, lock and watermark your licence and passport copies

In Australia your digital licence lives in your state’s app and your Medicare card in the myGov wallet, yet the copies you are asked for still come from the cards themselves. These guides show how to make, lock and send those copies with the apps your iPhone already has.

Scan your licence, Medicare card or passport photo page with Files and check the copy against ImmiAccount and 100-point rules. Then lock the copies with the Hidden album, a locked note or Require Face ID, and before one joins a rental application, watermark it for that one agent.

For the documents themselves, read why Apple Wallet holds no Australian ID and where each digital card lives instead, and how to get a PDF of your driver licence: Queensland’s Digital Licence app can share one, while VicRoads says its digital licence cannot.
