So, I wanted an Australian ID card. I mean, who wouldn’t? It’s like a golden ticket to… well, a lot of things in Australia. Anyway, I went online, did a bit of digging, you know, the usual Google search. Found a bunch of websites that claimed they could make it happen. Most of them looked a bit dodgy, to be honest, but I found one that seemed okay.
First, I looked up some info about the requirements. It’s a bit of a process, I’ll tell you that. You need a smartphone, for starters. Then, I gathered all the documents they asked for. My passport, driver’s license, birth certificate, and even my Medicare card. I felt like a secret agent, collecting all these important documents.
Next, I had to choose the “ID strength.” Apparently, there are different levels. I just went for the standard one, figuring it would be enough for what I needed. I filled out their online form, uploaded scans of my documents, and paid the fee. It wasn’t cheap, but hey, it’s an Australian ID card we’re talking about.

Then came the waiting game. I checked my email every five minutes, hoping for an update. Finally, after a few days, I got a message saying my ID card was ready. They even sent a video proof of the card being made before delivery, which was pretty cool. They shipped it to me, and a few days later, it arrived in my mailbox.
Holding that ID card in my hand, it felt surreal. It looked legit, with all the right details and holograms. I’m not gonna lie, I felt a bit like a kid on Christmas morning. Now, I haven’t actually tried using it yet. But just having it is pretty awesome. It’s like a little piece of Australia that I can carry around with me.
