WRA may register a person that is not registered and that has not made an application to be registered if, on the day WRA registers the person, WRA considers that the person—

is a VAP, or
b
at any time in the preceding 14 days, was a VAP.

Before WRA may register a person under subsection (1), WRA must issue a notice to that person—

b
specifying any information relevant to that person’s entry WRA does not have, or WRA considers is or may be inaccurate,

A person registered under this section is, for the purposes of section 7, to be treated as if that person is not registered; but this subsection does not apply from the time the person—
a
gives notice to WRA—
i
providing any information necessary to make the person’s entry complete and accurate, or
ii
if no such information is needed, confirming that the entry is complete and accurate, or
b
applies to WRA to be removed from the register.
