Land Title Verification of Identity Form
How to present your application at Australia Post
1. Ensure you have the appropriate identification documents for the highest possible category. Identification documents to be presented must contain matching personal information, be
original and current (except for an expired Australian Passport which has not been cancelled and was current within the preceding two years).
•
If you have changed your name from that on an identification document, you will also need to provide a change of name document(s).
• A translation will be required for passports, driver licences and birth certificates if not in English. The translation is to be completed by a NAATI accredited translator
(go to www.naati.com.au for details).
You should produce two Category 1 documents, if these have been issued to you. If you cannot satisfy Category 1 requirements, you must produce documents from the next
highest category possible^.
2. Present your form at any participating Post Office.
• If you require verification of identity (VOI) urgently, an express service is available at
selected Post Offices which can be found at
auspost.com.au/find/landtitleexpressservice. The VOI Report will be delivered on the
same day you present your form.
• A standard service is available at other participating Post Offices which can be found
at auspost.com.au/find/landtitle. The VOI Report will typically be delivered within 2-5
business days.
3. Do not complete Section D in advance.
(a) Do not sign until you present this form at Australia Post. Your signature must be
witnessed by the Australia Post verifier.
(b) Do not attach a photo. A photo will be taken (and attached where applicable) by the
Australia Post verifier.
4. Certified copies of your identification documents and photo taken by Australia Post will be
delivered to your conveyancer / lawyer / mortgagee as part of the VOI Report.
5. The fee for the VOI service includes the taking of your photo and is payable to Australia
Post when you present your form. Fees can be paid by cash, EFTPOS, Visa or MasterCard.
Cheques are not accepted.
6. If you require a Client Authorisation Form or other registry instrument or document to be
