Animal Welfare Act 1999

Provisions relating to administration - Power to inspect land, premises, and places and stationary vehicles, aircraft, and ships

128: Production of evidence of appointment

You could also call this:

"Showing proof of being an animal welfare inspector"

When you are exercising a power to enter a place under section 127, you must show proof of your job as an inspector when you first enter. You must also show proof of who you are. If someone asks you to show this proof again later, you must do it. You need to show two things: evidence that you are an inspector and evidence of your identity.
