Australian official documents: passports, birth certificates, Medicare and police checks

Start with the issuing authority and the document your situation requires. A personal scan helps you find details, while applications, certified copies and official digital cards follow their own rules.

For identity and civil records, prepare an Australian passport application or order a birth certificate from the right state or territory. If a card is missing, replace your Medicare card and find the official digital card. For an employment or other screening request, choose the right National Police Check and prepare the identity evidence.
