What ID does a person doing the form 888 need to supply.

Identity Documents for the Form 888.

Form 888 states: must be completed by a person who: is an Australian citizen or permanent resident.
The person completing the statutory declaration must provide evidence of their current name, age and where applicable Australian citizenship or Australian permanent residency.

For our visa applications:

• The two 888 forms, for our 300, were supported by Queensland Driver licences. Not passports.
• The two 888 forms, for our 820, were supported by Queensland Driver licences. Not passports.
• The two 888 forms, for our 801 application, were: One supported by Queensland Driver licence, one by an Australian passport.

They seem to accept an Australian driver licence, as proof of Australian citizenship or permanent residency. Not sure why, as it isn’t.

I have read on a few migration agents websites, this wording, or similar: “A driver’s licence is not evidence of Australian citizenship or Australian permanent.”

I cannot recall why I felt it was OK for ours to have the Driver Licence as ID, and not a passport, but the visas were granted without any issues regarding this.

I might have seen something like this, currently showing on a migration agents website:

What must be attached to a form 888?
You should attach a certified copy of the passport or birth certificate of the person who completed this form 888; or any document that shows evidence of this person’s current name, age and where applicable their Australian citizenship or residency, an example could be an Australian driver licence.

The Correct Legal Requirement:

If the visa applicant is outside Australia and is unable to have an Australian citizen or Australian permanent resident complete this form, any person who knows the applicant and their partner or fiancé(e) may also complete this form.
The person completing this form must provide evidence of their current name, age and, where applicable, Australian citizenship or Australian permanent residency (for example, a certified copy of the birth certificate, Australian passport or passport containing a permanent visa). All copies must be certified.

The above is sourced from the Form 888 itself. immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/form-listing/forms/888.pdf
