Identity Verification Services

In order to verify your identity electronically in connection with the provision of the Nationally Coordinated Criminal History Check, we may pass on information you provide (such as names, addresses and copies of identification documents) to Commonwealth and State government departments via the Australian Government Document Verification Service (DVS).

DVS will send information, using a secure line, to the issuers of the identification documents where an automated check of that data will verify whether the information provided matches the information held by the issuer. The issuer sends an automatic response via DVS to confirm or deny whether the details match the database records it holds.

By agreeing to these terms of use you agree that:

  1. the information you are providing is correct, accurate and up to date;
  2. that the information you are providing is your personal information and you have authority to provide it to us; and
  3. we may use and disclose your personal information for the purposes of electronic verification as described above.

To ensure compliance with the Document Verification Service requirements, we will explicitly ask you prior for consent in conducting such verification on the DVS, which will be in addition to any informed consent required for the Nationally Coordinated Criminal History Check service.
