EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Order)

Section 4(1) of the Identity Cards Act 2006 (“the 2006 Act”) provides a power to designate a document for the purposes of the Act. The effect of the designation is that, where an individual applies for a designated document, that individual must (a) apply at the same time to be entered in the National Identity Register, established under section 1 of the 2006 Act, or if there is already an entry in the Register in respect of that individual, confirm the contents of that entry and (b) apply for an ID card if the individual is not already the holder of such a card.

Article 2 of this Order designates a criminal conviction certificate issued under section 112 of the Police Act 1997 (c. 50) for the purposes of the 2006 Act, subject to exemptions set out in paragraph (3). The effect of these exemptions is that such a certificate will only be a designated document where it is applied for by a person in connection with a requirement to produce the certificate in order to obtain an airside pass and that person is not subject to immigration control.
