You could also call this:

"The Registrar can apply for a search warrant to enforce immigration adviser laws"

When you are looking at the law about immigration advisers, you need to know about search warrants. The Registrar is a person who can ask for a search warrant for the purposes of section 97 of the Search and Surveillance Act 2012. The Registrar has the power to apply for a search warrant like a police officer can, but only for offences related to this Act.

The Registrar can use this power to apply for a search warrant under section 6 of the Search and Surveillance Act 2012. You should be aware that this is in relation to an offence under the Immigration Advisers Licensing Act 2007. This means the Registrar has certain powers to help enforce the law about immigration advisers.
