You can only apply while you're in Australia. If you haven’t arrived in the country yet but know that you will, you won’t be able to create a USI until you’ve gone through customs in Australia. You can apply for a USI when you arrive.

Creating your USI is simple and takes about 5 minutes.

You'll need to apply through the Australian Government USI website.

• You will need to have a form of identification, such as a passport, ImmiCard, driver’s licence or Australian birth certificate.
• When you are creating your USI, make sure you provide the same details that you used when enrolling. Your legal names need to match, otherwise issues can occur.

When to provide your USI

You will be prompted to provide your USI in Sydney Student during enrolment.

If you are an international student and have not yet arrived in Australia, select that you are offshore so that you won't need to provide a USI when you enrol. As soon as you arrive in Australia, you will need to get your USI and provide it to us. 

Make sure to provide your USI as soon as possible. Without one, you won’t be allowed to access your semester results or graduate.

How to provide your USI

In Sydney Student, go to My details › Personal details. If you're a newly arrived international student, make sure you update your onshore/offshore status and your address details at the same time.

After you provide your USI, our system automatically checks it against the government registry. Verification of your USI typically takes between 24 and 48 hours.

When your USI is successfully verified, a green status indicator will appear next to your details. This confirms your record is active, compliant and complete.
