- What it is for
- A form for notifying the Department that information previously provided was incorrect, and supplying the correct information. It addresses obligations under the Migration Act 1958 to correct incorrect answers.
- Who completes it
- The visa applicant or visa holder who gave the incorrect information.
- Information it collects (in general terms)
- General categories include the person's identity, passport and contact details, relationship status, details of any partner or dependants included in the application, the person's visa and application details, and a description of what information was incorrect alongside the corrected details, with a declaration.
- When it is used
- Used when a person realises that information they gave in a visa application, on a passenger card, or in response to a departmental notice was incorrect, including where it remains incorrect after a visa has been granted. A different form is used where circumstances have since changed rather than where the original answer was wrong.
