If yes, please enter your date of birth, then attach a photocopy of your passport, driver’s licence or other form of photographic identification. Any form of photographic identification that you provide must include your name and date of birth.
If you are seeking personal information of another person (third party), it is likely that without a written authority (Authority to Act) from the third party, consenting to the release of documents/information to you, the AFP will be required to consult with those parties. Without the third party’s consent, it is unlikely the documents/information will be released to you under the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (Cth) (FOI Act).
If Yes, provide:
a copy of a written authority to act and an identification document of the person you are representing:

If the documents you seek relate to a third party (a person other than yourself, business or State or Territory government agency), it may be necessary under the FOI Act for the AFP to consult with that third party to obtain their views on the potential release of documents.
The information you supply on this form will be used only for the purpose for which you have provided it. It will not be disclosed to a third party without your consent unless allowed otherwise by law.
The AFP will not store your personal information or documents on this website server.
