Proof of Identity (POI)

Proof of Identity is defined by Marine Safety Victoria (MSV) as Main Proof of Identity or Multiple Proofs of Identity

Main Proof of Identity (POI) is Driver's Photo Licence.
A Driver's Photo Licence means any Australian photo driver licence or learner permit which is current or expired by no more than 2 years. Cancelled or suspended driver licence or driver licence learner permit cannot be accepted as the main proof of identity.

Multiple Proofs are required if you cannot provide the Main Proof of Identity above.
For detailed information please visit Vic Roads evidence of identity document

In other words, if you cannot provide driver's licence, you must submit Multiple Proofs

Please note all documents must be original as supplied by the issuing authority. Photocopies certified or otherwise, are unacceptable. Birth extracts and Commemorative birth certificates are not recognised proof of identity documents

MSV Requirements:

(a) Evidence of identity must be submitted to the training organization (RTO) at the time of enrolment
(b) No MSV Approved Training Course Certificate can be issued unless (a) above is satisfactory.
(c) When applying for boat licence at Vic Roads, the MSV Approved Training  Course Certificate issued by the training organization must be presented together with evidence of identity.
