With the expansion of the&nbsp;<strong>Australian Immi App<\/strong>, eligible applicants can now provide passport details and a live facial image through their smartphone instead of attending an Australian Biometrics Collection Centre in person.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is an important update for applicants applying for Australian visas from overseas. Biometrics can be one of the most stressful parts of a visa application, especially when the nearest collection centre is far away, appointment availability is limited, or travel costs are high. The <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/immi.homeaffairs.gov.au\/supporting\/Pages\/australian-immi-app.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Australian Immi App<\/a><\/strong> may reduce that pressure for applicants who meet the eligibility conditions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the app is not available to every visa applicant automatically. It can only be used by eligible applicants in supported countries who receive the right biometrics request letter and have a valid passport. If the Visa Lodgement Number does not start with&nbsp;<strong>AUI<\/strong>, the applicant must attend an Australian Biometrics Collection Centre.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aussizz&nbsp;Group has helped&nbsp;<strong>200,000+ applicants to their Australian Dreams<\/strong>, and this update is a reminder that even small <a href=\"https:\/\/immi.homeaffairs.gov.au\/visas\/getting-a-visa\/visa-processing-times\/overview\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">visa process<\/a> steps should be handled carefully. A missed biometric instruction, wrong VLN entry or incomplete identity check can delay the application.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>The Australian Immi App Helps Eligible Applicants Complete Identity Checks Remotely<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Australian Immi App allows eligible visa applicants to&nbsp;submit&nbsp;their passport details and live facial image to the Department of Home Affairs. It is designed to make the identity check process easier for applicants who are asked to provide personal identifiers, also commonly known as biometrics.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Australian Immi App feature<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/td><td><strong>What it means<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Passport detail submission&nbsp;<\/td><td>Applicants scan their passport information through the app&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Live facial image&nbsp;<\/td><td>Applicants take a photo through the app as part of the identity check&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Remote submission&nbsp;<\/td><td>Eligible applicants may not need to visit an ABCC&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Mobile access&nbsp;<\/td><td>The process is completed through a compatible smartphone&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Home Affairs submission&nbsp;<\/td><td>Details are sent to the Department after completion&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This does not mean all biometrics are removed from the visa process. It means eligible applicants may be able to complete the identity check digitally through the app instead of physically visiting a centre.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The app is most useful for applicants who have already lodged a visa application and then receive instructions from Home Affairs asking them to provide personal identifiers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>The App Is Available in Supported Countries Only<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Home Affairs lists the countries where the Australian Immi App is available for eligible applicants. As per the current Australian Immi App page, supported locations include countries such as Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, the Philippines, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Singapore, South Korea, Thailand, New Zealand for third-country nationals and others.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Supported country examples<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/td><td><strong>Relevance for applicants<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Nepal&nbsp;<\/td><td>Useful for many student and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aussizzgroup.com\/srilanka\/blog\/visitor-visa-australia-subclass-600-eta-guide\/\">visitor visa<\/a> applicants\u00a0<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Pakistan&nbsp;<\/td><td>May&nbsp;assist&nbsp;eligible applicants with biometric submission&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Sri Lanka&nbsp;<\/td><td>Helpful for applicants who receive AUI biometrics instructions&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Philippines&nbsp;<\/td><td>Can support eligible visitor,\u00a0student\u00a0or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aussizzgroup.com\/srilanka\/blog\/family-visa-explained\/\">family visa applicants\u00a0<\/a><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Malaysia&nbsp;<\/td><td>Useful for applicants based in Malaysia&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Saudi Arabia&nbsp;<\/td><td>Helpful for applicants in the Gulf region&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>United Arab Emirates&nbsp;<\/td><td>Useful for Dubai,&nbsp;Abu Dhabi&nbsp;and wider UAE-based applicants&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Singapore&nbsp;<\/td><td>Can help eligible applicants avoid centre visits&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>New Zealand&nbsp;<\/td><td>Applies to third-country nationals where eligible&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>South Korea&nbsp;<\/td><td>Supports eligible applicants in the listed location&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Applicants should always check the latest supported country list before relying on the app. Availability can change, and eligibility still depends on the biometrics request letter.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>You Need an AUI Visa Lodgement Number to Use the App<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most important requirements is the Visa Lodgement Number, commonly called the&nbsp;<strong>VLN<\/strong>. To use the Australian Immi App, the applicant must have a&nbsp;<strong>Requirement to provide personal identifiers letter<\/strong>&nbsp;with a VLN that starts with&nbsp;<strong>AUI<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>VLN situation<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/td><td><strong>What the applicant should do<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>VLN starts with AUI&nbsp;<\/td><td>Applicant may be able to use the Australian Immi App&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>VLN does not start with AUI&nbsp;<\/td><td>Applicant must attend an Australian Biometrics Collection Centre&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Multiple family members applying&nbsp;<\/td><td>Each person has their own VLN&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Wrong VLN entered&nbsp;<\/td><td>The identity check may not match the correct applicant&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Letter not received yet&nbsp;<\/td><td>Applicant should wait for the official instruction&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This is where many applicants can make mistakes. If a family applies together, each applicant may have a different VLN. The parent should not use one person\u2019s VLN for all family members. Each identity check must match the correct applicant.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>A Valid Passport and Compatible Smartphone Are Required<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The app process depends on passport scanning and facial image capture. Applicants need a valid passport and a smartphone that can complete the required checks.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Requirement<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/td><td><strong>Why it matters<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Valid passport&nbsp;<\/td><td>The app uses passport details for identity verification&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Camera access&nbsp;<\/td><td>Needed to scan passport and take facial image&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>NFC enabled&nbsp;<\/td><td>Required to read the passport chip where applicable&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Location services&nbsp;<\/td><td>Must be enabled for the app&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Stable internet&nbsp;<\/td><td>Needed to&nbsp;submit&nbsp;the identity check&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Compatible device&nbsp;<\/td><td>Instructions should be checked in the app store&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Near-Field Communication feature, usually called NFC, is important because many modern passports&nbsp;contain&nbsp;a chip. If the passport has a chip, the app may ask the user to scan it. If the passport does not&nbsp;contain&nbsp;a chip, that step may not be&nbsp;required.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Applicants should prepare the phone settings before starting. Weak internet, disabled&nbsp;NFC&nbsp;or blocked camera access can interrupt the process.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>The Australian Immi App Process Has Five Main Steps<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The app process is designed to be simple, but it still needs careful attention. Home Affairs outlines five key steps for completing the identity check.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Step<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/td><td><strong>What happens<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>1. Provide VLN&nbsp;<\/td><td>Scan the barcode or manually enter the Visa Lodgement Number&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>2. Scan passport&nbsp;<\/td><td>Scan the passport data page and passport chip where applicable&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>3. Confirm details&nbsp;<\/td><td>Check that passport information matches correctly&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>4. Take applicant photo&nbsp;<\/td><td>Capture a live facial image using the app&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>5.&nbsp;Submit&nbsp;identity check&nbsp;<\/td><td>Send the information to the Department&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Each step should be completed carefully. If passport details are scanned incorrectly, the applicant should rescan before&nbsp;submitting. If the facial image is unclear, the applicant may need to retake the photo.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The app also allows applicants to enter an email address to receive confirmation of submission.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>A Clear Facial Image Can Prevent Repeat Attempts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The facial image is a key part of the identity check. The app requires the applicant to take a photo that is clear and suitable for biometric verification.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Photo issue<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/td><td><strong>Better approach<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Dark background&nbsp;<\/td><td>Stand in front of a light-coloured wall&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Shadows on face&nbsp;<\/td><td>Use even lighting&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Glasses causing reflection&nbsp;<\/td><td>Remove glasses if practical&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Face not centred&nbsp;<\/td><td>Align face within the app\u2019s oval guide&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Other people in background&nbsp;<\/td><td>Take the photo alone&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Heavy makeup affecting image&nbsp;<\/td><td>Keep the face clearly visible&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The applicant should face forward, keep eyes open and avoid anything covering the face or eyes. The app will automatically capture the image when the face is in the correct position.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the app cannot capture a suitable image after several attempts, the applicant should follow the instructions in the biometrics letter for attending an <a href=\"https:\/\/immi.homeaffairs.gov.au\/help-support\/meeting-our-requirements\/biometrics\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Australian Biometrics Collection Centre<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Using the App Can Remove the Need to Attend an ABCC<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the biggest benefits of the Australian Immi App is that eligible applicants do not need to attend an Australian Biometrics Collection Centre after successfully completing the app process.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>App-based biometrics<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/td><td><strong>ABCC biometrics<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Completed through smartphone&nbsp;<\/td><td>Completed at a physical centre&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Requires AUI VLN&nbsp;<\/td><td>Required when VLN is not AUI&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Uses passport scan and facial image&nbsp;<\/td><td>May involve in-person collection&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Can reduce travel and appointment pressure&nbsp;<\/td><td>May require booking and travel&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>ImmiAccount&nbsp;updates after submission&nbsp;<\/td><td>Submission handled through centre process&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>After the app identity check is&nbsp;submitted&nbsp;successfully,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/immi.homeaffairs.gov.au\/help-support\/applying-online-or-on-paper\/overview\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ImmiAccount<\/a>&nbsp;is expected to update within 24 hours. If Home Affairs needs more information, they will contact the applicant with further instructions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Applicants should not assume the visa will be granted&nbsp;immediately&nbsp;after biometrics. Biometrics are only one part of the visa process. The visa application still needs to be assessed based on the relevant criteria.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>The App Does Not Store Your Data After Submission<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Data privacy is a common concern for applicants using government apps. Home Affairs states that the Australian Immi App sends passport details and facial images to the Department and does not store the data after submission.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Data point<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/td><td><strong>What applicants should know<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Passport details&nbsp;<\/td><td>Sent to the Department after submission&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Facial image&nbsp;<\/td><td>Sent as part of the identity check&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>App storage&nbsp;<\/td><td>Data is not stored after submission&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Error handling&nbsp;<\/td><td>App will tell the user if information was not sent&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Confirmation&nbsp;<\/td><td>Final screen appears after successful submission&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Applicants should still use the app carefully and only download it from official app stores. They should avoid using unofficial links or third-party apps claiming to collect Australian visa biometrics.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Common Mistakes Applicants Should Avoid<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Australian Immi App can save time, but mistakes can still cause delays. The most common problems happen when applicants rush through the process or ignore the exact instructions in the biometrics letter.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Common mistake<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/td><td><strong>Why it can cause a problem<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Using the wrong VLN&nbsp;<\/td><td>Identity check may not match the correct applicant&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Assuming everyone can use the app&nbsp;<\/td><td>Only eligible applicants with AUI VLN can use it&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Disabled NFC&nbsp;<\/td><td>Passport chip may not scan&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Poor photo quality&nbsp;<\/td><td>Facial image may not be accepted&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Wrong passport scan&nbsp;<\/td><td>Information may need to be recaptured&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Weak internet connection&nbsp;<\/td><td>Submission may fail&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Not checking&nbsp;ImmiAccount&nbsp;<\/td><td>Applicant may miss updates or further requests&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For families, the most important mistake to avoid is mixing up VLNs. Each applicant\u2019s biometrics letter should be handled separately.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4>FAQs<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">Q1.&nbsp;What is the Australian Immi App?<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Australian Immi App is a mobile app that allows eligible visa applicants to provide passport details and a live facial image to the Department of Home Affairs as part of the identity check process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">Q2.&nbsp;Who can use the Australian Immi App?<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eligible applicants in supported countries can use the app if they receive a Requirement to provide personal identifiers letter with a Visa Lodgement Number starting with AUI and hold a valid passport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">Q3.&nbsp;Can everyone use the Australian Immi App for biometrics?<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No. If the Visa Lodgement Number does not start with AUI, the applicant must attend an Australian Biometrics Collection Centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">Q4.&nbsp;What documents do I need to use the Australian Immi App?<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Applicants need their Requirement to provide personal identifiers letter, AUI Visa Lodgement Number and valid passport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">Q5.&nbsp;Does the Australian Immi App collect fingerprints?<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The app is used to provide passport details and a live facial image.
