Australian documents: applications, replacements and iPhone guides
Practical guides for Australian documents: prepare applications, replace missing records and choose what to share with an agent or employer. Find the official service first, then keep the personal copies you need on your iPhone. Every guide lists the sources it was checked against.
Prepare ID, income evidence and references for an Australian rental application, with state-specific limits and a practical check before you upload copies.

Keep licence, Medicare and passport copies locked on your phone, prefer official digital cards, and know what to do when a breach notice names your documents.
Prepare Queensland rental ID and limited bank evidence, or make a readable supporting scan within ImmiAccount’s document ceiling. Free in your browser, no document upload.
My documents used to be all scattered through my gallery, I managed to organize them all. I personally like the watermark feature… I used it a lot while traveling, it makes sharing IDs much safer… it stamps a copy with the name of the company you are sharing with (say, an AirBnb or a car rental). It’s still a bit rough around the edges but it’s a new app and the dev seems to be working on it. Price is alright given it’s a one time payment.. one less subscription!
