About this copy
Original factual summaries describing what each official form is for and who lodges it. No form fields, layout or text are reproduced; the official PDF remains the only form.
Platform-authored navigation; no lawyer or registered migration agent reviewed this catalogue. It does not assess eligibility, points or suitability for any person.
Purpose
This form gathers the biographical and ancestry information the Department of Home Affairs needs to assess a person under the Special Circumstance visa arrangements, including matters connected to Papua New Guinea and citizenship history.
Who lodges it
The person seeking assessment (the applicant). A separate form is completed by each person being assessed, though children may in some cases be included on a parent's form.
When it is used
Used when a person applies for, or is being assessed for, a Special Circumstance visa and needs to provide identity, citizenship and multi-generation family-history information to support that assessment.
