The object of the present invention is to enable the identification of double-layer disc type (recordable double-layer disc, rewritable double-layer disc and ROM-type double-layer disc) to be easily and accurately performed. The method for identifying double-layer disc contains obtaining a reflectance of each light by irradiating light of different wavelengths under focused state to each layer of a double-layer disc loaded in an optical apparatus, and identifying if the double-layer disc is a recordable double-layer disc, a rewritable double-layer disc or a ROM-type double-layer disc corresponding to the combination of reflectance of each obtained light. It is preferable that the wavelength of one light is a wavelength for DVD-based disc and the wavelength of the other light is a wavelength for CD-based disc.
