Once an application is approved, the register of teachers is updated and a digital registration card is available to access.
Digital registration cards contain information about a teacher's current registration including their registration number, category, status, expiry date and any conditions they may have on their registration.
Any registered teacher can access their digital card by simply opening the Service Victoria app or downloading it from the Google Play store or Apple App store. Teachers can log in or create an account, tap ‘Wallet’ and either access their existing digital card or follow the prompts to create a new digital card.
For more information, read our digital registration card User Guide, Support Pack and Card Checker Guide. You can also learn about the benefits of digital cards or explore our FAQs.
The digital card will be available in the Service Victoria app wallet on their smartphone or tablet whenever they need to prove their registration status.
Registered teachers don’t need a card to prove their registration. Employers can be satisfied that if their name appears on the register of teachers, then they hold valid VIT registration.
Card expiry
The expiry date listed on most digital registration cards is the deadline for the next annual registration period, which occurs on 30 September each year.
The initial registration fee paid by provisionally registered teachers (PRTs), experienced returning registered teachers (ERRTs) and holders of permission to teach (PTT) is pro-rated, covering their registration from the commencement date of their provisional registration until the next 30 September annual registration deadline.
The expiry date listed on their digital registration card will also reflect this date or 30 September (whichever is sooner). PRTs, ERRTs and PTT holders are expected to complete annual registration tasks and pay the annual fee applicable to their registration category by 30 September each year, at which time the digital registration card will be automatically updated.
Conditions
Some teachers may have conditions placed on their registration. Conditions may be noted on their digital registration card, and may also appear in the Employer portal and the Register of teachers.
Conditions are usually placed on a teacher’s registration for a period of 6-12 months, with documentation required to meet the condition. When a digital registration card states ‘This teacher's registration has conditions’, it can relate to conditions imposed on a teacher’s registration, or imposed through a voluntary agreement with the teacher, which may relate to concerns about health or conduct.
Please note VIT is unable to provide specific details of any condition(s) on any individual’s registration. All queries relating to any condition(s) on a particular teacher’s registration should be directed to that individual.
