Where a digital licence isn't yet integrated, the customer presents the physical licence in the standard VOI flow - there's no compliance penalty for capturing the physical version even if the customer also holds the digital. AUSTRAC's framework doesn't mandate digital licence acceptance, so this is purely a customer-convenience question.
