Title: Identification
Post by: Xirafel on October 30, 2016, 03:15:30 AM
Okay, I wonder what sort of identification a psychologist would accept.
They keep my passports, birth certificate, etc. under lock and key. Requesting them would give it all away.
I only saw my birth certificate for the first time ever the other week. I never even knew I had one. Shocking o.o

There's the bank card and a UK driver's license (well, that might not work in Australia for ID) x.x

It didn't work for the bank. I always have to carry my passports there.

So why would a psychologist need your ID? ...if you have a drivers license that will be fine. Most go off your Medicare card, which has to be about the easiest form of ID to forge ever!!

The bank will accept your drivers license (I assume its not an Australian one) as well but even if it is an Australian one you will require additional supporting evidence such as a passport to meet the 100 point ID test which is common practice amongst banking and government institutions.

I was asked for my birth certificate by my psychologist. He didn't ask for any other ID proof though.
