D7.65 Offences under other legislation

While the Immigration Act 2009 has a number of provisions which carry their own penalties on conviction, prosecution may be warranted under some other legislation, depending on the nature of the offence. For example, instances of document fraud may be covered by the Crimes Act 1961 (INZ fraud branch may take Crimes Act prosecution), and passport forgery by the Passports Act 1992.
