Information to Be Provided to a Detainee About Identification Tests

What it is for

This is an information notice that explains to a person in immigration detention how and why identification tests to collect personal identifiers are conducted. It sets out the person's rights and the safeguards that apply during such tests.

Who completes it

No party lodges this form; it is an informational document provided to a non-citizen who is in immigration detention.

Information it collects (in general terms)

As an information notice it does not itself collect data; it describes the types of personal identifiers an authorised officer may require, the manner and safeguards for conducting identification tests, retesting, the use of interpreters, and the circumstances in which information may be disclosed.

When it is used

It is provided to a detainee before or when an authorised officer requires them to undergo an identification test to collect personal identifiers while in immigration detention.
