About DVS
The PRM Group / PharmacyID are accredited to provide Commonwealth ‘Document Verification Services’. The service has been integrated into PharmacyID to provide applicants with an opportunity to digitally verify their ID. Please note that ONLY the following Australian documents can be digitally verified:
• Citizenship Certificates
• Driver Licenses
• Immigration Cards
• Medicare Cards
• Passports
• Certificates of Registration by descent
• Visas.
When an applicant enters their ‘100 points’ of ID and the PharmacyID software recognises one of the above documents has been entered the following message will appear. We recommend you accept the offer to digitally verify ID by ticking the small box shown in the screen below.
Selecting and passing digital verification not only removes the need to provide certified copies of ID or show employers / managers originals but it also results in a faster submission of police check applications.
