24 How adoptions are registered
(1) The Registrar is to register an adoption or discharge of an adoption by registering the record of the adoption or discharge sent to the Registrar under Chapter 7 of the Adoption Act 2000.
(2) The Registrar registers the record by making an entry about it in the Register including the information required by the regulations.
(3) If the record relates to a person in relation to whom such a record has previously been registered under this Act, the Registrar is also to note a reference to the later record in the entry in the Register relating to the previous record.
