- What it is for
- This form is used to apply to the Department of Home Affairs for a Legal Practitioner Number (LPN), which allows an eligible Australian lawyer to create and manage applications through ImmiAccount. It supports the department's process for recognising legal practitioners who provide immigration assistance in connection with legal practice.
- Who completes it
- The Australian legal practitioner (a lawyer holding a current state or territory legal practising certificate) lodges this form on their own behalf.
- Information it collects (in general terms)
- It gathers the practitioner's personal and contact details, particulars of their legal practising certificate and issuing professional body, principal place of practice or employer details, any former migration agent registration number, and a signed declaration.
- 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.
