## Used for these tasks

- [Complete Form 80 personal particulars from the client's passport and travel history](https://ailawframework.com/practice/immigration-and-migration-law/complete-form-80-personal-particulars-from-the-client-s-passport-and-tra.md)
- [Draft the advance explanation and written consent before Form 80 answers are entered into an AI tool](https://ailawframework.com/practice/immigration-and-migration-law/draft-the-advance-explanation-and-written-consent-before-form-80-answers.md)

## How AI may be used

Yellow. A tool may compare a working note with the current official form and list what is missing. The lawyer downloads the form, completes it and lodges it.

**AI may:**

- List the facts and documents the official page says to have ready.
- Compare a working checklist with the current downloaded form and mark gaps.
- Prepare a filing note that quotes only what the official page says.

**AI must not:**

- Do not copy the official form into a new document or file a retyped version.
- Do not invent a form number, fee, time limit or rule that is not on the official page.
- Do not draft, settle or sign an affidavit, statutory declaration or other sworn evidence.
- Do not lodge the form or tell the client it has been filed.

**The lawyer checks:**

- The character page names Form 80 and links this PDF.
- The PDF says it is completed in English by applicants who are 16 or over, when the processing office asks for it.
- Open it in Adobe Acrobat Reader, or print it and use block letters, as the PDF says.
- The pages read cover identity, other names, citizenship, passports and identity documents. Later parts were not read. Use the current PDF for those.
