According to official guidance, the feature is available only to applicants who have received a “requirement to provide personal identifiers (biometrics)” letter containing a Visa Lodgement Number (VLN) starting with AUI or AUH, and who hold a valid passport.
Those applicants whose VLN does not start with these prefixes must be required to visit an Australian Biometrics Collection Centre to submit their information in person.
The Immi App requires a stable internet connection and a smartphone with NFC enabled. Users must also allow the app to access the device camera and location services.
