Clubbing Essentials: Which IDs Are Valid for Entry?

I believe we've all been in this situation before at some point during our clubbing era.

You've had the longest week, and you're ready to blow off some steam, so you message the group chat to see who's keen on going out this weekend.

You sort out dinner plans, your outfit and how you are going to get to the venue.

The times finally come, and you've already caught a vibe at dinner. The playlist is going off, and you've booked your Uber to the first venue.

But now, one of your friends can't get in because they brought the wrong form of ID. The door staff doesn't let them in, and now your group is split.

What was supposed to be a night out to de-stress has become stressful. What could have been done to avoid this situation?

What ID cards are acceptable to use?

1. Australian passport.

2. International passport.

3. Valid Australian driver's license from any state or territory.

4. Foreign driver's license (in English) - Note: Some venues may not accept this, so it's wise to bring your passport.

5. Photo Identification Card.

6. Proof of Age Card.

7. Keypass ID Card.

8. Digital Drivers Licence - Note: Some places cannot accept some states Digital Driver's licenses due to restrictions not within their control.

It is important to note that you must have a physical copy of your ID when attending a venue and not just a picture. While many of us rely on digital copies stored on our smartphones for various purposes, most clubs and bars require a physical, government-issued ID for entry. This means that even if you have a clear, high-quality photo of your ID saved on your phone, it may not be accepted by the venue's door staff.

Now that you know what IDs are accepted, spread the word, Keep the good times rolling and create unforgettable memories with your favourite people.

Remember, venue staff have a crucial role in keeping everyone safe. Let's show kindness and respect for a night to remember!
