          (1) This section applies to a person who:









                 (a) is a deportee who has not yet been deported; or
                 (b) is a removee who has not yet been removed; or

                     subsequently been immigration cleared.
          (2) Where the Secretary or Australian Border Force Commissioner

              relating to another person, being a person to whom this section
              applies, would facilitate the making of arrangements for the
              transportation, by aircraft, of the other person from Australia, the
              Secretary or Australian Border Force Commissioner may give the
              first-mentioned person a document under subsection (3) relating to
              the other person.

               (a) must be in the approved form; and
               (b) must contain a photograph of the person concerned (if
                   available); and
               (c) must state, to the best of the Secretary’s or Australian Border
                   Force Commissioner’s knowledge, the name and nationality
