About this copy

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 is the scripted procedure used by departmental officers when conducting a biometric identification test (photograph and fingerprints) on a minor aged between 15 and 18 who is in immigration detention. It records that the required legislative information was read to the young person and their representative and that the test was carried out and declared by the responsible officers.
Who lodges it
A departmental authorised officer (with an assisting officer) completes and signs it; it is not lodged by a visa applicant. The minor and their parent, guardian or independent person are present and their responses are recorded.
When it is used
Used in an immigration detention setting immediately before and during a biometric identification test on a detainee aged 15 to 18, as authorised under the Migration Act 1958.
