7B Application for registration—identification document (1) This regulation defines the identification document for an application for registration of a ship. (2) If the ship has been registered in Australia, the identification document is a statutory declaration by a person who knows the facts of the matter that specifies the way (if any) in which the ship differs from the description that appeared in the Register immediately before the ship last ceased to be registered. (3) If the ship has been registered overseas, the identification document is: (a) if the overseas registration certificate contains the information about the ship that is stated in a builder’s certificate—the overseas registration certificate; or (b) if the overseas registration certificate does not contain that information, or if any of the information in the certificate is incorrect—a statutory declaration by a person who knows the facts of the matter that sets out the information or the correct information. (4) If the ship has never been registered, the identification document is: (a) a builder’s certificate; or (b) if the ship’s owner or registered agent, after taking all reasonable action, cannot obtain a builder’s certificate—a statutory declaration by a person who knows the facts of the matter that states the following: (i) the information referred to in subregulation 7 (2); (ii) as much of the information stated in a builder’s certificate that is known to the person; (iii) the grounds on which that person asserts the truth of the matters stated under subparagraphs (i) and (ii).
