Authorising someone to act on your behalf
All information obtained by UAC from your application is confidential. For privacy reasons we can't discuss information relating to your application with anyone else. However, you can authorise another person to act on your behalf and talk to UAC about your application.
This person can be a different person or the same person as the agent/representative who may be helping you with your application and visa formalities. For more information about agents read agent-assisted applications.
If you wish to authorise someone to act on your behalf, you and the person you are authorising must:
- complete the appropriate section in Apply, or
- submit a letter of authority to UAC.
The letter of authority must include:
- the printed full name of the person who will be acting on your behalf
- the signature of the person who will be acting on your behalf
- your signature
- your UAC application number.
Note: This authorisation only applies to the UAC application process. It does NOT authorise someone to accept an offer on your behalf. For details on how to authorise someone to accept an offer on your behalf, contact the relevant institution.
Agent-assisted applications
You may be applying through an agent. When you use International Apply you'll be asked to enter your agent's unique identification code (UACID) for each institution you apply for; your agent will have this. You can add, change or delete your agent later if you need to using Check & Change.
If you're applying through an agent, your agent will be able to access information about your application through Agent services.
