I am a foreign resident living in Australian with a temporary visa. I have a QLD proof of age card and an international driver's licence. How to have a Standard level in the myID app as a foreign resident without an Australian driver's licence? As the only two documents on the list that I can possibly have are the Visa and the Australian driver's licence. All the other documents are just for Australians and Permanent residents.

Hi @laramgtl
To achieve Standard identity strength in myID as a foreign resident, you'll need to verify your identity with any 2 of these Australian documents:
- Australian passport (current or no more than 3 years expired)
- driver's licence or learner's permit
- birth certificate
- visa (using your foreign passport)
- ImmiCard
- citizenship certificate
- Medicare card (this option appears after you verify one of the above documents).
Since you have a temporary visa, you can use your visa combined with your foreign passport as one of the required documents. You'll need one additional Australian document from the list above to reach Standard level.
If you can't access 2 Australian documents, you'll only be able to achieve Basic identity strength. You can still access some online services with Basic ID, though some restrictions may apply.
For more help with verifying your visa, check the Accessing our online services with a Basic Digital ID page.
