Card 18+

A Card 18+ (also known as an 18+ Card or a proof of age card) is available as evidence that you are legally able to enter licensed premises.

The Card 18+ is an alternative if you don't have a passport or a driver licence demonstrating proof of age. It is also commonly used by people with a licence who, for security reasons, do not want other private information displayed as the Card 18+ does not include your address.

The Card 18+ is recognised by law under The Liquor Act 1992 but is administered by the Department of Transport and Main Roads.

To apply for a Card 18+ you are required to complete a Card 18+ Application form (F3003). This form is also available on request by calling 13 23 80b, or at your nearest Department of Transport and Main Roads customer service centre, authorised Queensland Government Agency Program office, or a licensing-issuing police station.

When applying for a Card 18+ you must show an existing Queensland driver licence (current or expired less than two years). If you are unable to show your licence or you do not hold a licence, you must show at least three evidence of identity documents.
