Applying for a QLD Blue Card

The Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) are used to verify a person's identity so a photo can appear on the blue card.
This can be done by completing the remote pack which is if a person lives interstate or overseas.

The TMR issued customer number is only valid for six months from time of issue and will expire if not used for any purpose.

Complete Remote pack

• Complete the New Customer / Photo and Signature Remote Application (for agency card) form to obtain your CRN or update your photo. Be sure to have your documents witnessed by an approved person.
• If you need help completing this form, take a look at our Getting a Customer Reference Number or updating your photo for your blue card application guide and the Your digital photo… The right way to ensure you meet the photo requirements.

Post paperwork

You will need to post your form, documents, and photos to:

The Manager
Department of Transport and Main Roads Dalby Customer Service Centre
PO Box 767
Dalby QLD Australia 4405
