Overview
- Eligible residents aged 16 to 21 can now add the credential in the Service NSW app if they hold a NSW driver’s licence or photo card.
- Participation is optional and free, whereas ordering a physical certificate costs $68 or $101 for priority processing.
- The digital document can be used for RSA and RCG certifications, TAFE enrolments, and driver’s licence applications, with wider acceptance to be built over time.
- Security features mirror the digital driver’s licence with a hologram, a changing image, and single-use data designed to meet international standards.
- The government will gather feedback from the initial cohort before expanding to other age groups, with no timeline set, and highlights usefulness when paper records are lost in disasters.
