Proof of Age card :

The Victorian Proof of Age card is used solely to verify that a person seeking to enter licensed premises or purchase liquor is over 18 years of age. This card is recognised throughout Australia.

An application form can also be posted to you by calling the VCGLR on 1300 182 457.

Any person who has reached the age of 17 years and 11 months can apply, however you must wait until you are 18 years of age to use it.

Keypass cards :

The Australian Keypass card is used as an alternative to photo identification; there are two types of Keypass cards. One is to prove you are over 18 years of age and the other to prove you are less than 18 years of age. Many Australians do not have a driver licence or passport and in some cases require photo identification. Keypass cards are recognised throughout Australia for identification purposes.

Keypass cards are issued by Keypass Australia. Applications and requests for application forms or other information should be directed to keypass.com.au (opens in new window).
