Ito po ang requirement:
•Three documents that all together show your:
◦photograph and signature
◦current residential address
◦birth name, date of birth and gender.
My understanding is that this means one of 2 things:
1. 3 IDs that show ALL the details required per ID.
2. 3 IDs that show AT LEAST 1 of the details required per ID.
If #1, anong klaseng ID po kaya yun? My NSW Driver's Licence does not show my gender, so hindi na pwede yun. Also, wala na akong alam na ID na available that shows all of those requirements.
If #2, other than Driver's Licence and Passport, ano pa pong ID ang acceptable? Pwede po ba yung RSA card or yung NSW photo ID lang?
Thanks sa mga sasagot po!

my understanding is that it's (2), so:
photograph and signature - passport bio page
current residential address - your NSW driver's license or any utility bill in your name
birth name, DOB and gender - birth certificate.

I just submitted my application earlier today. I know it's going to be a long waiting game, but it's comforting to know na nakapila na yung application ko and that I wouldn't have to worry about being affected by the upcoming changes come 1 July 2018.
Good luck sa ating lahat who are waiting!
