Verifying Your Account with an International Passport

Can I verify using my international passport?

Yes, you can verify your account using an international passport, but you’ll need a valid Australian visa linked to it. Australian visas are sometimes issued electronically upon arrival in Australia.


Tips for Successful Verification

1. Dual Citizenship

If you’re a dual citizen with both an Australian passport and an international passport, you must verify your identity using your Australian passport. This is because the visa in your international passport becomes invalid once you obtain Australian citizenship.

2. New Passports

If you’ve been issued a new passport while in Australia, ensure that your visa details are updated with the passport issuing authority. Failing to do so may cause verification issues.

3. Matching Details

The name details entered during the verification process must exactly match the records in the visa issuer’s database. Double-check for any discrepancies before submitting.
