The Minister can recall a certificate of identity given to you by the New Zealand Government. This can happen under section 27GA. The Minister can then cancel the certificate or keep it.
If this happens, it means the certificate is no longer valid. You can find more information about this in the section 20(1) of the law. The Minister has the power to make this decision.
