25  State court recognition of a foreign measure
 (1) On receipt of a document that is a foreign measure, the relevant Registrar of a State court may register the foreign measure by:
 (a) filing in the court a copy of the document; and
 (b) noting the fact and date of registration on the copy.
 (2) A foreign measure so registered (a recognised foreign measure):
 (a) has the same effect as a State measure, in the same terms; and
 (b) may, on application by the relevant Registrar of a court or a person interested in the measure (including the child who is the subject of the measure), be registered concurrently in any other State court in that State.
 (3) A certificate by a court that the foreign measure has been registered in that court under this regulation is sufficient evidence to enable a concurrent registration to be made.
 (4) To enforce a recognised foreign measure, an interested person may take legal proceedings in any State court in which the measure is registered.
