Thousands of NSW Photo Card holders who live in the Penrith area can now download a digital version of their identification through the Service NSW app.
\nMinister for Customer Service Victor Dominello said that the Digital Driver Licence has been a resounding success and led to many customers requesting a Digital Photo Card.
\n\u201cThis is another example of the NSW Government bolstering the Service NSW app to put customers first and make life easier for people,\u201d Mr Dominello said.
\n\u201cWith a Digital Photo Card, as long as\u00a0you have your phone, you always have your\u00a0ID with you. It\u2019s hassle free and only takes minutes to download.\u201d
\nThe Digital Photo Card builds on the success of the Digital Driver Licence, which is now held by more than 2.4 million licence holders in NSW, representing 41 per cent of drivers. Close to 2000 new users are adopting the technology each day, earning it a 95 per cent customer approval rating.
\nThere are more than 970,000 Digital Photo Card holders in NSW.
\nMember for Penrith Stuart Ayres said the trial will test the functionality and effectiveness of the Digital Photo Card ahead of a state-wide roll out.
\n\u201cThe trial will allow Photo Card holders in the trial area to use their mobile device to enter licensed venues and transact with other businesses who check ID, such as hotels, major retailers, telcos, convenience stores, tobacco retailers and pharmacies,\u201d Mr Ayres said.
\n\u201cThe Digital\u00a0Photo Card\u00a0is hosted securely on the Service NSW app, which is locked with a PIN. I encourage Penrith residents to give it a go and let us know what you think.\u201d
\nWhen a customer is issued their\u00a0Photo Card or updates their details, they simply refresh the app for real-time updates,\u00a0without\u00a0having to wait for a plastic card to arrive in the post.
\nThe Digital\u00a0Photo Card remains available offline\u00a0if\u00a0the\u00a0card\u00a0holder remains logged into the Service NSW\u00a0app. The following postcodes are included in the trial \u2013 2750, 2745, 2747, 2748, 2749, 2773.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
