Adult Proof of Age Card – Card 18+
The Queensland Government is replacing the Card 18+ (also known as an 18+ Card or a proof of age card) with the Adult Proof of Age Card. The Adult Proof of Age Card and other new cards are being progressively rolled out across Queensland.
Both the Card 18+ and Adult Proof of Age Card provide proof of age for Queenslanders aged 18 years or older, and are ideal for people who don’t hold a driver licence or passport. They are also commonly used by people with a licence who, for security reasons, do not want other private information displayed as the Card 18+ and Adult Proof of Age Card do not include your address.
Note: If you currently hold a Card 18+, it will still be recognised and moving to the new card is optional.
