The NSW Photo Card is a voluntary card for people who do not hold a current NSW driver license, or other form of photo identification, to help them show who they are. It may be used to help access a number of everyday services such as sending or receiving international mail, opening bank accounts and entering licensed premises.

Just like a driver license, your NSW Photo Card holds important personal information about you so be careful who you give your card details to. Only police officers or Roads and Maritime Services-authorized personnel are permitted to seize a card. You should not let any person or business scan your card. Businesses may only take a copy of your card with your permission.

Please explain what are other uses of obtaining this document/certificate.
e.g. Birth Certificate can be used as proof of identity.
