Applying for a home loan can feel overwhelming, especially when you are pulling together documents. To make things easier, here is a clear overview of the personal information and identification you will need when applying for an Unloan.
Non-Photographic Identification
First up, we need some basic details to get to know you. You will be asked to provide:
Full legal name
Date of birth
Residential address
Mailing address
Occupation
If you would like mail sent to a PO Box, add this to the mailing address field. Your residential address should be where you live, not a PO Box.
Photographic Identification
To verify your identity as part of your application, you will need to provide one of the following:
Australian driver’s licence, or
Australian passport
Using an Australian driver’s licence?
If you choose to use your Australian driver’s licence, you will need to enter both your licence number and your card or document number. The card number is printed on your licence, but the location varies by state/territory.
STATE | Where is the card number located? |
NSW | Front of the licence, top right-hand corner. |
VIC | Before November 2022 Back of the licence, below the year of birth.
