PRIVATE AUSTRALIAN VISA BIOMETRICS REQUEST RECORD
Prepared: 9 October 2026
Keep this completed record on your own device. Do not send passport numbers, full VLNs, photographs or fingerprints to MyAusVisa.
This is a preparation aid, not a government form, biometrics submission or visa decision.

1. READ THE ACTUAL REQUEST
Private applicant label (use a separate record for each person):
Current country/location and visa application channel:
Request received date:
Exact deadline and any time-zone wording in the letter:
Passport linked to the request checked privately:
VLN prefix only: AUI / another prefix (do not copy the full code here):
Official instructions and country availability checked on:

2. CHECK THE METHOD
[ ] Read my own letter before choosing the app or a collection centre.
[ ] App: confirm the current country list, valid passport, AUI-numbered request and compatible-device instructions.
[ ] App: check any location qualifier; the New Zealand and Somalia entries are for third-country nationals only.
[ ] App: check camera, NFC and location settings against Home Affairs instructions; review scanned details and rescan if incorrect.
[ ] App: remove the cover or wallet from my mobile device before scanning; capture the full data page and both machine-readable lines.
[ ] Centre: use the current official directory/provider link and the letter to check booking, documents, fee and location.
Chosen method and reason from my letter:
Centre booking/date/location or app steps still outstanding:

3. RECORD COMPLETION OR A PROBLEM
[ ] App: check the final screen confirms successful submission; if transmission fails, follow the recapture instruction.
Optional app email confirmation requested / received:
Actual submission/collection date and time:
ImmiAccount update checked (the official app page says within 24 hours after submission):
Where any receipt or confirmation is stored privately:
Problem encountered and official instructions followed:
If the app photo cannot be completed, letter-based ABCC instructions checked:
If completion before the deadline is uncertain, official contact/request date:
Written response, revised instruction or deadline actually received:
Next step and date to check:

Do not assume a request for help extends the deadline or waives biometrics. A collection or app submission is not a visa grant.
Each family member has their own VLN; another person's submission does not complete mine.
