Looks like the new requirements are due to commence in August this year.
If you have to go through an authorised agent of the issuing body to have your ID checked be prepared to cough up more dollars to get your next ASIC. I've heard Australia Post charge $30.00 for ID checks.
I'd suggest those who normally get their ID certified by the local JP contact whoever issues their ASIC and ask what the procedure will be when the new regs come in and what the cost will be.
