Identification requirements
If you’re departing from an international terminal, you’ll need to show photo identification. It must be valid and include your full name.
Accepted ID types are:
- Passport (non-Australian passengers must show a passport as ID)
- A driver’s licence issued by the Commonwealth of Australia or an Australian State or Territory
- An aviation security card issued by the operator of the aircraft or the operator of an airport in Australia
- A document that identifies you, issued by:
- The Commonwealth of Australia
- An Australian State or Territory
- An authority of the Commonwealth of Australia or an Australian State or Territory
Non-photo ID will only be accepted for infants travelling with an adult who presents photo ID. In this case a birth certificate is acceptable.
Check-in and boarding timelines
Online check-in is not available for domestic flights departing from an international terminal.
You’ll need to get to the airport earlier, so make sure you arrive with plenty of time to check in, get your boarding pass before check-in closes, and clear security.
Remember, if you’re not at the boarding gate on time, you won’t be able to board your flight and you may lose your fare in full.
