Form 1193 – Consent for Electronic Communication

This fillable PDF can be completed online with Formize’s PDF Filler, saving you time and reducing the risk of errors.

What is Form 1193?

The form asks for your personal details, a signature, and information about any authorised person (migration agent or legal practitioner) who may act on your behalf. Providing consent is mandatory for applicants who wish to receive electronic correspondence from the Department.
