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
A standardised script and record for conducting a biometric identification test (photograph and fingerprints) on an adult in immigration detention under the Migration Act 1958. It ensures the required information is read to the person and their understanding is documented.
Who lodges it
Administered and completed by the authorised officer conducting the test and the assisting officer; the adult detainee responds to the scripted statements. It is attached to the detainee's file rather than lodged by an applicant.
When it is used
Used at the point an adult (over 18) in immigration detention undergoes a biometric identification test, to deliver the mandatory information and record the process.
