Providing 100 Points of Identification

When applying for qualifications, Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL), or certifications, you’ll need to provide 100 points of identification to prove your identity in Australia. At HOLO Education Services, we’re here to guide you through this important requirement.

The 100 points of ID system, implemented by the Australian Government, is designed to protect against identity theft and fraud. This system requires individuals to present a mix of documents that confirm their identity. You can use different combinations to reach 100 points, but you must include at least one primary document.

How the 100 Points System Works

Different documents carry different point values. You’ll need to show a combination of primary and secondary documents to make up 100 points. The documents may be provided as originals or certified copies, as required by Australian regulations.

Required Documentation for 100 Points of ID

To meet this requirement, you’ll need to show original identity documents to a verifying officer. This list typically includes:

Category	Type of document
Category A 70 points	Birth certificate or extract
	Australian citizenship certificate
	Passport
	Australian driver’s licence or permit
	Proof of age card
Category B 30 points	Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) card
	Centrelink pensioner / health care card
	Government employee identification card
	Secondary or Tertiary student identification card
	Seniors / Medicare / private health card
Category C 15 points	Council rates / property insurance papers
	Professional or trade association card
	International driver’s licence
	Bank or credit card
	Utilities bill (telephone, gas, electricity or water)
	Tax notice / superannuation statements
	Motor vehicle registration / insurance papers
	Rental property lease agreement

For Aboriginal applicants residing in remote or isolated areas, two letters of verification from recognized Community Leaders may also be provided, with each letter valued at 50 points.

For applicants under 18, one Category A document is required. Alternatively, a signed statement from an educational institution confirming the applicant’s enrollment can contribute 50 points.
