The purpose of the instrument is to undertake a biannual update of the places where payment of a fee may be made and the corresponding currencies that must be used for payment of a fee in that place.

The instrument specifies the country in which payment of a fee may be made and the currency in which a fee may be paid in that place. It enables the Department of Home Affairs (Home Affairs) to advise on and accept only those currencies that are readily and legally accessible to the public and bankable by each overseas office.
