The convict indent was the official list of convicts being delivered to the authorities in New South Wales, containing details of crime, sentence, marital status and physical appearance of all convicts.

The indent may later have been annotated with information such as Ticket of Leave and Pardon numbers, or whether the convict left the Colony.

In the early years of transportation only name, ship, and length of sentence were shown. In later years progressively more information was added so that, by the 1830s, information such as native place, occupation, crime, date and place of trial, year of birth, height, complexion, colour of hair and eyes, and distinguishing features such as scars and birth marks were included.

A photocopy of the page on which the convict appears in the indent for the ship of arrival will be supplied. The first page of the indent giving the name and Master of the ship will also be included.

Price is reduced if the reference number is supplied.
