How to submit your photo ID

At Colonial First State, we’re committed to simplifying processes for you. So we've introduced a way of making life a little easier which helps you verify yourself using your PHOTO ID online.

Keep in mind

  • Your selfie or photo won't be accepted unless it meets our guidelines
  • Before uploading your files via e-Post, they must be within our size limits
  • If sending your files via email, they must be sent from your CFS registered email address 

What you'll need?

Please provide us with either one of the two primary photographic documents:

  • A valid current Australian Driver’s Licence, or;
  • An Australian Passport, can be expired for up to a maximum of two years

Here's how

Before you start, please carefully study our detailed photo and selfie specifications.  

  1. Take a photo of yourself holding your Primary Photographic ID next to your face.

  2. Gather all your documents, including:

    • The photo of you holding your Primary Photographic ID
    • A close-up image or scan of your Primary Photographic ID
    • Any other required documents, such as your completed request form

  3. Return all documents by following one of the options below:

     1. Upload online through FirstNet via e-Post

    Make sure all your document files meet our e-Post size requirements

     

    OR

     

    2. Email to contactus@cfs.com.au 

    This must be sent from your CFS registered email address

  4. You’re all done!

    If we spot any incorrect or incomplete information, one of our team members will give you a call.
