Issuing evidence of assumed identity
105 Issuing evidence of assumed identity
The Commission may request the chief officer of an issuing agency to —
produce evidence of an assumed identity in accordance with an assumed identity approval; and
give evidence of an assumed identity to the officer specified in the approval.
The request must state a reasonable period for compliance with the request.
The chief officer of a public authority who receives a request under subsection (1) is authorised and required to comply with the request.
The chief officer of an issuing agency that is not a public authority who receives a request under subsection (1) is authorised to comply with the request, but does not have to do so.
For the purpose of complying with a request under this section, the chief officer, and any other officer of the issuing agency acting in accordance with the directions of the officer in charge, are authorised to provide evidence of identity and make an appropriate entry in a register or other record of information in accordance with the request.
In subsection (5) —
appropriate entry, in respect of an assumed identity, means a written or electronic entry that, either alone or with other entries, is not inconsistent with the assumed identity being a real identity.
