The NSW Photo Card replaced the 'proof of age' card on 14 December 2005. The proof of age card was age-restricted to adults between 18 and 25 years old, initially, the NSW Photo Card was issued to anyone over 16 years of age not in possession of a state driver licence. As of 1 March 2017, the NSW Photo Card is available to all residents of NSW, whether or not they have a state driver licence. At the time of driver licence renewal, a discounted fee can be paid to obtain the additional card. According to the Roads and Maritime Services, the card can be used to enter licensed premises and to open bank accounts.
