Unique Student Identifier

A USI is your individual education number. You keep this number for life and will use it for your Secondary Schooling, Higher Education or Training, at any university, TAFE or other nationally registered training organisation in Australia.

Your USI identifies you as a student who has undertaken vocational education and training (VET) and/or higher education studies. It also creates an online record of your Australian training achievements in the form of a USI Transcript.

If you already have a USI and have misplaced it, visit: https://www.usi.gov.au/students/find-your-usi

A USI is your lifelong education number – you only need to create it once.

In accordance with Victorian legislative requirements, all students/persons must have a USI number before they can undertake any Tertiary, TAFE studies and/or recognised training.

You need one form of identification to create a USI, acceptable forms of ID:

NB: The personal details you enter must match those shown on your identification.

Creating your USI should take less than 5 minutes.

Go to the USI Registry System.
Agree to the terms and conditions (if you have previously agreed to the terms and conditions, you might not see this step).
Select Create USI
Select your evidence of identity document (see the types of ID you can use).

* If the name you use for business or official purposes is not the name on your form of ID, you can choose to enter this in the preferred name field.
