8 Identity cards (1) The Director must give a Fisheries Officer appointed under section 7(1), or a Fisheries Inspector, an identity card stating the person's name and that the person is a Fisheries Officer or Fisheries Inspector. (2) The identity card must: (a) show a recent photograph of the Fisheries Officer or Fisheries Inspector; and (b) show the card's date of issue and expiry; and (c) be signed by the Officer or Inspector. (3) This section does not prevent the issue of a single identity card to a person for this and another Act. (4) The production by a Fisheries Officer or Fisheries Inspector of a current identity card, or evidence that a Fisheries Officer is a police officer, is, until the contrary is proved, sufficient authority to do anything that the Officer or Inspector is authorised by or under this Act to do.
