Purpose and scope
The form package includes application, supporting records, photograph and payment instructions. Current ICA replacement instructions determine when the paper route is applicable.
Information and procedure
The following separates the document’s main parts and applicable requirements.
| Part | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Evidence | Provide applicable name/religion/address-change evidence; doctor’s memo or LPA records where relevant |
| Photo | Within three months; white plain background, full face, open eyes and shoulders visible; hair/glasses must not obscure required facial features |
| Payment | Use only the official payment process; recovery of the original does not produce a fee refund |
| Collection | The notes state destruction if uncollected for three months and no overseas collection |
Completion and follow-up
Older paper notes describe an application shortly before returning; check the current ICA page before relying on that timing. Do not send payment-card or identity details to this guide website.
