White Card — 100 point ID check
Work out what to bring, before the day of your class.
Nothing you tick here is verified or recorded. On the day of your class you must hand your original physical documents to the trainer, who checks them in person. CBD College does not collect, photograph or keep copies of your identity documents — so please don’t upload or email them to us.
Do you have one of these primary documents?
You can use at most one— and if you don’t have any, that’s OK: other documents below can still get you to 100 points.
Tick everything else you can bring
Add documents until you reach 100 points. Tick only what you will actually have with you on the day.
Photo licences and cards — 40 points each
Everything else — 25 points each

Tick the documents above and your running total will appear here.
Can’t make 100 points?
SafeWork NSW has special arrangements that replace the points system for some students — including people who’ve been in Australia less than six weeks (bring your passport plus a current driver’s licence or a credit/savings card), Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students, and school students. These have to be arranged before the day — please call us on 1300 723 056 rather than turning up and hoping.
The things that catch people out
The most common reasons someone gets turned away at the door.
Originals or state government digital ID — no photos, scans or photocopies
Your trainer checks your ID in person on the day. A photo of your licence on your phone, a scan, a screenshot or a photocopy will not be accepted. Bring the original document, or show an Australian state government digital ID live in its official app (such as the Service NSW app).
Your name has to match across every document
If your documents show different surnames — most commonly after marriage or a change of name — bring the original marriage certificate or change of name certificate that links them. Without it, the documents in the other name can’t be counted.
Check the expiry dates and the dates on bills
Licences, Medicare cards and concession cards need to be current. Utility bills, phone accounts and rates notices need to be from the last three months. A passport is the one exception — it can be expired by up to two years, as long as it was never cancelled.
Bank documents must be from different institutions
Two cards from the same bank count once. If you’re using bank documents to make up points, they need to come from two separate banking institutions.
Your documents must also show four things
Between them, your documents need to show your photo, your date of birth, your signature and your current residential address. 100 points without those four isn’t enough.
You also need a USI
Separately from your ID, you need a Unique Student Identifier before we can issue your statement of attainment. If you don’t have one yet, create it free at usi.gov.au — it takes a few minutes and you’ll need ID to do it.
Digital driver licence?
Yes — an Australian state government digital ID shown live in its official app (such as a digital driver licence in the Service NSW app) is accepted. A screenshot or photo of it is not.
