- Who completes it
- No party lodges this form; it is a reference document read by prospective citizenship applicants and their representatives.
- Information it collects (in general terms)

- When it is used
- Consulted when preparing any Australian citizenship application to determine the applicable fee, eligibility for a concession or exemption, and the accepted method of payment.
