Re:Australia gov wants telco Optus to pay for new passports ... by collegeburner on Wednesday September 28, 2022 @09:19PM (#33015262)
in America i usually prove identity for postpaid services with something like a utility bill which is at least not a government id document. i understand a telco wants some identity before extending credit for any postpaid plan but can y'all not do the same?

You can see Optus' ID requirements here: https://www.optus.com.au/for-you/support/answer?id=9438

Here are the ID requirements for their major competitor, Telstra: https://www.telstra.com.au/support/account-payment/id-check-...

These are legislated: https://www.legislation.gov.au/Details/F2022L00548
