What is the easiest way to reach 100 points?

Most applicants satisfy the 100-point requirement with a passport (70 points) plus a driver licence (40 points). Other combinations are also accepted.

Can I use a foreign passport or licence?

Yes. A foreign passport with a current Australian visa counts as a 70-point primary document, and a current foreign driver licence counts as a 40-point secondary document (with an English translation if required).

You need at least 100 points in total.
