Under Queensland legislation and Scouts Queensland risk management procedures, all participants 18 and over (as at 6th January 2025) must hold a valid Queensland 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.

What happens next at TMR?
This process could take up to 8 weeks.
TMR will process your application / photo.
Once you have been issued with a CRN, TMR will send you a confirmation email.
Once you have received your confirmation email, you can register for a Blue Card account.
(Please note that this step can be completed with Step 4 if you wish as the next step is very quick to complete, and the number needed is issued within moments).
Register for a Blue Card account through the Blue Card Services website. This is how the Queensland Government will verify your identity and obtain your photo for your Blue Card. You will be issued with a Blue Card account number during this registration process.
Once you receive your Blue Card Account Number via email, log back in to the Victorian application system, on the Blue Card tab, enter the Blue Card account number in the box and click update form.
In the Blue Card Account Number box enter your Blue Card Account Number

Victoria will then send your details to the Jamboree who will initiate the process with the Queensland Government to link your Blue Card Account to a card with Scouts.
Please be patient as this process can take 1-2 weeks to go through.
Log back into the Blue Card Services Applicant Portal and complete your Blue Card application. The Blue Card approval process can take 7 - 21 days approximately from the time the application is completed.
Once your Blue Card is approved you will be advised by email, and your card will be posted to you approximately three weeks after receipt of the email.
