What ID do I Need -Australian Police Check

When applying for a nationally coordinated criminal history check (NCCHC) through AuthNTick Identity Services, you are required to provide documents that confirm your identity. This process ensures the accuracy and security of your personal information and meets government verification standards.

To complete your application, you must supply four identity documents: one commencement document, one primary document, and two secondary documents. These documents confirm your full name, date of birth, and photograph, allowing DPI Consulting to verify your identity and process your police check securely and efficiently.

Document Requirements

You must provide four documents with your completed form:

• One Commencement document to confirm your birth in Australia or arrival in Australia
• One Primary document
• Two Secondary documents to show the use of your identity in the community

AuthNTick Identity Services will use these documents to verify your identity against the personal information you provide online or via a downloadable form. By creating an account with DPI Consulting, you consent to the use of your personal information to conduct a nationally coordinated criminal history check.

Your documentation must include evidence of your full name, date of birth, and photograph.
