Why do you need a new one anyway? Are you changing your name or whatnot?

Goto the BDM office with ID (ie. passport) and they'll reprint one for $25 (probably more since I got mine reprinted 3 years ago).

Not unless you were born again...

kayy umm I got mine a few months ago, 100 point ID check...
Medicare, phone bill, bank statement, passport prolly helpful... I think the first 3 is all I took? They also accept payslips..
