Purpose

It supports the department's process for recognising legal practitioners who provide immigration assistance in connection with legal practice.
Who lodges it
The Australian legal practitioner (a lawyer holding a current state or territory legal practising certificate) lodges this form on their own behalf.
When it is used
It is used when an Australian legal practitioner needs to obtain a Legal Practitioner Number so they can access and manage matters through ImmiAccount, and a copy of their practising certificate is attached to the application.
