I believe that friends living in Australia have encountered such troubles: because Australia`s investigation of age is quite rigid, small to tsg and all kinds of liquor stores to buy cigarettes and wine, big enough to enter and leave the KTV, bar with friends, casino and other "18 ban" places, are asked to show ID to prove that they have reached adulthood.
This is not only because in foreigners` eyes, we Asian all look like minors; the rigour of ID card inspection also reflects the rigorous attitude of Australians.
However, passports do not always remember to take them with you. Sometimes you need to use a passport, but when you find that you do not have it with you, what do you do?. Of course, in general, driver`s license or Medicare Card can also be used as an alternative to passport.
But what if it`s someone who doesn`t have a driver`s license, or someone who doesn`t have health care at Medicare?
Next, teach you the way to show your passport when you are asked to prove your age at ID!
That`s it! [Proof of Age Card]
First of all, it should be noted that such documents are issued by government, the states of Australia, and each state has subtle differences in documents;
This is from (ACT), the capital territory:
This is new state:
This is from Victoria:
This is from Kunzhou:
However, although the face of the card is different, these cards all have some similarities:
1. The applicant must be at least 17 years of age and 11 months of age (the new state requires more than 16 years of age);
2, applicable to all the purchase of age-limited goods throughout Australia;
3, the handling fee for cards is generally not high, generally only 10 Australian dollars!
Think about it, just A $10, and you can get a ID card with a validity period of up to five years! Is it "value for money"?
Next, the editor will tell you about the application process! First, visit the Australian government website on proof of age card:
This page is the equivalent of a state`s proof Ofagecard`s information is co-ordinated so that you can choose which state government documents you want to apply for.
In Victoria, for example, friends who want to apply for Proof of Age Card in Victoria can generally go to the), Vic Roads offices (Victoria Highway Office of the Australia Post offices (Australian Post Office), or some selected Pharmacies and Chemists to receive the application form; Or, if you don`t live near a place like this, you can also request such a form at the bottom of the http://www.vcglr.vic.gov.au/community-services/proof-age page;
What preparations should be made before filling in?
Proof of Age Card generally requires two types of documents: one is citizen certificate, including birth certificate, passport, naturalization certificate, immigration certificate, other citizen ID card, etc. The other is driver`s license (including student license), security card, credit card or bank passbook, Medicare Card, Gun Lincense, student card and so on.
Prepare one of the certificates and fill out the form and hand over the form and the original certificate of identification document to the person you know who has been on the electoral roll for at least 12 months. This person must fill in and sign the judgment statement.
Finally, go to the designated place to shoot photo (usually the post office or Vic Roads office), submit your completed form and signed certificate, and pay the card fee (usually A $10). Then, you can wait at home for 20 to 25 working days (that is, about a month or so), and you can get this ID Card!
The requirements vary from state to state, but certificate of identification, is required and details can be found on the web page given above, http://www.australia.gov.au/information-and-services/transport-and-regional/registration-and-licences/proof-of-age-card.

Always go out to buy cigarettes and wine forget to take passport, or be stopped by KTV, bar, casino vicious security guard, or fear that passport carry easy to lose you, it is worth having one!
