71 Sending of memoranda of orders to other States etc.
Where the Court makes an adoption order or an order for the discharge of an adoption order and the Prothonotary or the Registrar of the County Court (as the case requires) has reason to believe that the birth of the child to which the order relates is registered in another State or in a Territory or in any country proclaimed by the Governor in Council for the purposes of section 67(3), the Prothonotary or Registrar shall, as soon as practicable, cause a memorandum, in accordance with the prescribed form, of the adoption order or a copy of the order for the discharge of an adoption order, as the case may be, certified in writing by the Prothonotary or Registrar to be a true memorandum or copy, to be sent to such officer of that State, Territory or country having functions in relation to the registration of births as is prescribed.
