Information for foreign ASIC applicants
Foreign applicants for ASICs and flight crew licences experience difficulties supplying appropriate identification documents in accordance with the Principal Regulations as the documents that are permitted are primarily Australian identification documents. The amendments address the issues faced by foreign ASIC applicants and allow foreign applicants who provide valid passports as primary identification documents, the ability to use additional items as proof of identity. These additional items include:
- a photographic flight crew licence issued by an ICAO Contracting State as a secondary identification document; or
- a photographic foreign driver's licence as one of two tertiary identification document's required.
