You could also call this:

"When an interstate officer agrees to something in writing, you can use it as proof they said yes."

Illustration for Oranga Tamariki Act 1989

If you have a document that says an interstate officer agrees with something, it can be used as proof of their consent. This is for certain parts of the law, like section 207D(1)(c), section 207K(1)(d), or section 207Q(1)(b), unless someone can prove it is not true. You can use this document as evidence of the officer's consent when needed.
