If a completed passport application is a condition of your release and you have made a refugee claim, that application is not shown to officials of the country you fled while your removal order cannot be enforced. It stops the release condition itself from exposing you to the government you ran from.
250 If a completed application for a passport or travel document must be provided as a condition of release from detention, any completed application provided by a foreign national who makes a claim for refugee protection shall not be divulged to government officials of their country of nationality or, if there is no country of nationality, their country of previous habitual residence, as long as the removal order to which the foreign national is subject is not enforceable.
