13DValidation of schools identifier by the Registrar

#### 13D Validation of schools identifier by the Registrar (1) If an application is made under section 13C in relation to a schools identifier of an individual, the Registrar must validate the identifier if: (a) the identity of the individual has been verified; and (b) the identifier is the schools identifier of the individual; and (c) the individual has not already been assigned a student identifier. > Note: A schools identifier that has been validated under this section is a student identifier for the purposes of this Act (see paragraph (b) of the definition of student identifier in subsection 4(1)). (2) The Registrar must give written notice of the Registrar’s decision on the application to: (a) the applicant; and (b) if the applicant is not the individual—the individual. (3) However, the Registrar is not required to give the notice under subsection (2) to the individual if the contact details of the individual are not known to the Registrar. (4) If the Registrar validates the individual’s schools identifier, the notice given under subsection (2) must: (a) set out the validated identifier; and (b) if the notice is given to the individual—explain the purposes and uses of a student identifier. (5) If the Registrar refuses to validate the individual’s schools identifier, the notice given under subsection (2) must set out the reasons for the refusal.
