CHILD PROTECTION (OFFENDERS REGISTRATION) ACT 2000 - SECT 19F
Approval by Commissioner of Police
19F Approval by Commissioner of Police
(1A) This section applies to an application by or on behalf of a
registrable person for registration of a change of the person's name in
respect of which the written approval of the Commissioner of Police is
required under section 19E.
(1) The Commissioner of Police may approve an
application only if the Commissioner is satisfied that the change of name is
in all the circumstances necessary or reasonable.
(2) The Commissioner of
Police must not approve an application if the Commissioner is satisfied that
the change of name would, if registered, be reasonably likely-- (a) to be
regarded as offensive by a victim of crime or an appreciable sector of the
community, or
(b) to frustrate the administration of this Act in respect of
the registrable person.
(3) If the Commissioner of Police approves an
application, the Commissioner must-- (a) as soon as practicable, give written
notice of the approval to the person who made the application, and
(b) if the
registrable person consents, give a copy of the written notice of approval to
the NSW Registrar or the interstate Registrar (as the case so requires).
