Ms Helen Dixon:
If the Department cannot issue a card until it is satisfied as to the identity, once it issues the card and registers the person on SAFE 2, it means the Department is satisfied as to identity. What purpose, therefore, other than in exceptional circumstances, which we were open to the Department outlining to us, could retention of that volume of documentation serve?
