18+ Only

Match the document to the activity: proof of age for entry, Acceptable Identification for Crown Rewards, a valid updated membership card for EGM play, and any additional identification Crown requests for a specific transaction.

Identity can be requested for different reasons at Crown Perth. Proof of age supports the 18+ entry rule; Crown Rewards uses acceptable identification to establish or verify membership; EGM card updates require current physical acceptable identification; and some cashier or transaction situations can involve additional identity checks. A document that works for one process should not automatically be assumed to complete every other process.

For Crown Rewards, the initial app route accepts a narrower set of documents than an in-person desk application. The app lists Australian driver licences or learner permits, Australian passports and foreign passports, while Crown’s desk-based list also includes New Zealand driver licences or learner permits, Australian ImmiCards and Australian Proof of Age or Photo Cards. The in-person verification and card-collection step still applies when membership is started in the app.

Which ID do you need for which purpose?

Casino entry, Crown Rewards membership, EGM activation and cashier transactions use identification for different reasons. Ordinary casino access is governed by the age rule and possible proof-of-age checks; membership verification applies when joining Crown Rewards or preparing a card for EGM play.

Current Crown Rewards acceptable identification

These are the identification options Crown currently lists for in-person membership applications. Crown’s Rewards Rules allow it to determine acceptable identification from time to time, so the live Crown list takes priority if it changes.

The Crown app has a narrower current list for its initial sign-up shortcut: Australian driver’s licence or learner’s permit, Australian passport, and foreign passport. Crown explains that app users can complete the initial process and then visit a Crown Rewards desk to verify ID and collect the Membership Card. This means ‘the app accepts my document’ and ‘the desk accepts my document’ are related but not identical questions.

Crown Rewards Rules also state that an applicant must present an original copy of Acceptable Identification in the form Crown requires and complete a membership application. Membership takes effect when the application details and identification have been accepted and registered. Crown Rewards membership is limited to individuals aged 18 or over who are not excluded from the relevant Crown premises, and the rules describe membership as free.

Overseas visitors

Foreign passports are explicitly included in Crown Perth’s current Crown Rewards identification list, including the shorter list shown for app sign-up. That is the clearest current route for an overseas visitor who wants to prepare Crown Rewards membership. Crown’s in-person list also includes a New Zealand driver’s licence or learner’s permit, while other foreign driver licences are not listed on the current join page as general Crown Rewards identification.

An overseas visitor should distinguish membership identification from proof-of-age entry rules. Crown’s casino Conditions of Entry include a current passport as proof of age, so a passport has relevance at both stages, but for different reasons. The entry check establishes age eligibility for the casino; the membership check establishes and verifies a Crown Rewards record.

Visitors should bring the physical document when an in-person card update is needed. Crown’s carded-play FAQ specifically says a photograph of ID is not acceptable for that process and directs guests to the current Acceptable Identification list. That is a useful practical detail for anyone who normally keeps only digital copies of travel documents.

Membership is not the same as general casino entry

Crown Rewards is a loyalty membership. Crown’s current join page describes member benefits, points and offers, while its separate Conditions of Entry govern access to the casino. The two systems intersect when a visitor wants to play EGMs, because carded EGM play requires a valid Crown Rewards Membership Card.

Casino entry and EGM access are not the same requirement. Crown says patrons must be 18 or over and not prohibited from entering; the mandatory Crown Rewards card rule is tied to EGM play. For table-game options, see Crown Perth casino games, and for general venue planning see Crown Perth casino opening hours.

For people who do want membership, Crown currently offers an app-based fast-track route and an in-person Crown Rewards desk route. The desk inside the casino near the entrance closest to Crown Metropol is currently listed as open from 8:30am to 2:30am every day, although other Rewards desk hours vary. Because desk schedules are operational details, check the current Crown page before making a special trip.

Why a valid membership card matters for EGMs

Crown Perth’s current carded-play page states that all guests playing Electronic Gaming Machines need an updated, valid Crown Rewards Membership Card. The card activates EGM play and connects the member to the venue’s carded-play and safer-gambling controls. Crown says a valid card involves verified identification and current membership details.

A first-time visitor planning to use EGMs should complete the membership and card requirements before treating machine play as available. Crown Rewards is not merely an optional points choice for EGMs; the updated valid card is required to activate them. Visitors who are only entering the venue or using other eligible facilities face different requirements.

When can Crown ask for ID at the cashier?

Identity checks are not limited to joining Crown Rewards. Crown’s current casino information says customers may be required to provide identification for certain transactions and specifically identifies cash transactions of $5,000 or more. Crown frames this as part of meeting regulatory obligations and preventing financial crime.

These cashier requirements apply to the relevant transaction and do not create a universal identity process for every person entering the casino.

Crown Perth is a land-based casino, so “online KYC” does not describe these checks. The relevant processes are proof of age, Crown Rewards identification, carded-play verification and transaction-specific identity checks within the physical venue.

What to bring if you plan to join or update Crown Rewards

1. Choose a current accepted document. Use Crown’s live Acceptable Identification list rather than an old third-party checklist.
2. Bring the physical document for an in-person card update. Crown’s carded-play FAQ says an ID photo is not accepted for that process.
3. Allow time for a Rewards desk visit. Casino opening hours and Rewards desk hours are separate.
4. Expect an in-person verification step after app fast-track. Crown says the app can begin the process, after which the member visits a desk to verify ID and collect the card.
5. Remember the age rule. Crown Rewards membership is for individuals aged 18 or over, consistent with casino age restrictions.

If a document is unusual, recently renewed, digital-only or issued outside the categories Crown currently lists, contact Crown Rewards before travelling specifically for verification. The Rewards page provides the hotline 1300 8 CROWN and directs visitors to Crown Rewards desks for assistance.

A photo of an identification document does not replace the current physical Acceptable Identification Crown requires for the card-update process.
