The Victorian Government has commenced a trial of digital birth certificates in three local government areas.
Minister for Government Services, Danny Pearson said the technology will give parents fast and secure access to their child’s birth certificate on their mobile phone for the first time.
As an alternative to paper certificates, participating parents across Wyndham City Council, City of Casey and Mitchell Shire Council municipalities can now use the new digital birth certificate to enrol children in kindergarten programs.
“The digital birth certificate will make it quicker and easier for Victorian parents to enroll their kids into kinder,” said Mr Pearson.
“This means you will have access to this important document anytime, wherever you are – which is one less thing to worry about.”
“This is all part of our digitisation agenda – updating how government works so that Victorians can use services more easily and more efficiently.”
The trial will allow digital birth certificates to be added to the wallet feature on the Service Victoria app.
The use of the digital birth certificate will be optional for those eligible, and physical copies will continue to be issued to all Victorians.
