4. Identity Verification and Government Data Matching (DVS)
To verify your identity, we may use electronic identity verification services, including the Australian Government’s Document Verification Service (DVS).
Where you have consented, your name, date of birth and identity document details will be securely sent to the relevant Commonwealth or State authority that issued your document. This may include passport offices, driver licence authorities, the Department of Home Affairs, Births Deaths and Marriages, or other authorised record holders.
These authorities check whether the details you have provided match the records they hold.
We do not receive a copy of your government records. The authority returns a match result only, confirming whether your details match (yes or no).
This process may be carried out through accredited identity verification providers, including APLYiD (APLYiD Pty Ltd, ABN 36 632 866 794) and its sub-providers.
More information about the DVS is available at idmatch.gov.au.

Biometric information may be used to:

Biometric information is treated as sensitive information under the Privacy Act. We only use it for identity verification and related compliance purposes, and only with your consent.
