206: Identification already carried out
"Identifications made before the new rules started don't have to follow those rules."
If you made an identification before a certain part of the law started, the rules about identification evidence in Subpart 6 of Part 2 do not apply to you. This means that the new rules do not affect identifications that were already made. You do not have to follow these new rules if your identification happened before they came into effect.
