D3.1 Dealing with information on people suspected of being in New Zealand unlawfully

Information alleging a person may be in New Zealand unlawfully can come from a variety of sources. An immigration officer must verify such information to the extent that they are satisfied there is good cause to suspect that a particular person is in New Zealand unlawfully. This may be achieved by establishing a person's identity and immigration status from NZIS files or database or other documentation.
