20 Effect of change in status of electronic identity credential

(1)

A change in status of an electronic identity credential does not, of itself, affect the validity of any applicable transaction or service that was completed or provided before the change even if the identity of the individual to whom the transaction or service relates was verified using the credential.

(2)

Nevertheless, the chief executive—

(a)

must give written or electronic notice of the revocation of an electronic identity credential to each participating agency with which an individual has used the credential; and

(b)

may provide information about any other change in the status of an electronic identity credential to a participating agency with which an individual has used the credential if, in the chief executive’s opinion, it is in the participating agency’s interest to receive that information.

(3)

Subsection (1) is subject to any direction that a court may give under section 64(1)(c).
