Immigration (Registration Card) Order 2008 (SI 2008/1693)

Immigration (Registration Card) Order 2008 (SI 2008/1693) Commences 1 October 2008. Amends the definition of registration card in s 26A of the Immigration Act 1971 by extending it to cover documents carrying information about a person issued to persons claiming support under s 4 of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999. As a result, the criminal offences relating to registration cards will apply to any cards issued in connection with s 4 support claims. Section 4 enables the secretary of state to provide facilities for accommodation to, among others, persons applying for immigration bail and those who have been unsuccessful in their asylum claim and who meet the eligibility criteria.
