You need to follow some steps for a recognition agreement to take effect. An agreement is not valid until it is brought into effect. This can happen in two ways. You can bring an agreement into effect by an Order in Council for protected customary rights. The Order in Council must say who the applicant group is and where the agreement applies, with a map or diagram to show the area. For customary marine title, an agreement is brought into effect by an Act of Parliament on a specified date. The Minister in charge must introduce legislation with the full agreement text to Parliament. An Order in Council is a type of secondary legislation, which has its own publication requirements, as outlined in Part 3 of the Legislation Act 2019.
