Regulation of immigration advisers - Inspection

62: Conditions of authorisation

You could also call this:

“Rules for inspectors who check immigration advisers”

The Registrar can only allow someone to do an inspection if they are properly trained or qualified. If you are allowed to do an inspection, you need to show two things when you enter a place and if someone asks later: a written permission and proof of who you are.

The written permission must include four things: it must mention this section of the law, your full name, what powers you have (which are explained in section 57), and why you can use these powers.
