Can i travel domestic within australia without a passport?

Question

I have never travelled before and am yet to get my passport. I was reading on the virgin blue website that all id need is some photo id (drivers license or passport) and my itinerary? So does that mean i could just use my photo ID instead of a passport?

Answer 1

Any form of photo id is fine they would be just some examples of what you could use as ID. You don't require a passport for domestic travel.

Answer 2

Im not sure, I would rather be safe than sorry and bring it. There always changing the rules these days

Answer 3

You need a pssport if you're leaving the country. Photo ID would only need be your driver's license or student ID card.

Answer 4

yes you can you would need some id like your drivers licence for proof of id

Answer 5

Answer 7

"all id need is some photo id (drivers license or passport) and my itinerary?" This, from, your own question, seems to cover it.

My 13 year old flies Virgin alone often.  She does not have a driver's licence (obviously) but we have used her school identity card that has a photo when she checks in.  Once she did not have that, but they accepted a Medicare card.  When things get really bad I believe they will let you on if you can produce a printed copy of your itinerary.  Qantas are less strict (although there I just produce my Qantas Club card)
