Authorisations

An authorisation form is used when the applicant already holds a current blue card. The authorisation form permits the Commission to inform the department of:

the current status of a blue card application

any changes to the status of a blue card application.

All departmental carers and the adult members of the carer households must either apply for a blue card or authorise the Commission to inform the department on the status of their current blue card.
