The Department of Home Affairs released a Standard Operating Procedure (IIB-1530) dated 5 March 2025 detailing interpretation of Migration Five (M5) biometric match results. M5 is a consortium of immigration agencies from Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, the United States, and Canada that exchange fingerprint data against respective immigration databases to detect travelers with fraudulent intent while facilitating legitimate travel. The document provides guidance to decision makers and the Biometrics Resolution Section on interpreting M5 match codes within the Client Search Portal for UK, Canada, US, and New Zealand records. The procedure aligns with the Five Country Conference High Value Data Sharing Protocol and relevant Memoranda of Understanding between the Department and each partner nation. The arrangement aims to achieve cost savings, security improvements, and immigration system integrity across member countries.
