21W  In person identity verification checks
 (1) If a CIRMP permits a background check of an individual and provides that the background check must include an in person identity verification check, the check must be conducted in accordance with this section.

Individuals who are 18 years of age or older
 (2) Subject to section 21X, if the individual is at least 18 years of age at the time of the in person identity verification check, the individual must attend the check in person and must give to the verifying person conducting the check:
 (a) the following documents:
 (i) a Category A identification document;
 (ii) a Category B identification document that is different from the Category A identification document;
 (iii) a Category C identification document that is different from the Category A identification document and the Category B identification document;
 (iv) if evidence of the individual's current residential address is not set out in a document already given—a Category D identification document; and
 (b) if the individual's identity has been verified electronically before the in person identity verification check has been conducted—the identity documents the details of which were used to electronically verify the individual's identity.

Individuals under 18 years of age
 (3) Subject to section 21X, if an individual is under 18 years of age at the time of the in person identity verification check, the individual must attend the check in person and must give to the verifying person conducting the check:
 (a) a Category A identification document; and
 (b) if the individual's identity has been verified electronically before the in person identity verification check has been conducted—the identity documents the details of which were used to electronically verify the individual's identity.

Identity to be verified at time the individual attends the check
 (4) The verifying person conducting the in person identity verification check must verify the individual's identity at the time the individual attends the check, unless the individual is exempted under section 21X from the requirement to attend the identity verification check in person.

Identification documents must be provided for each identity verification
 (5) To avoid doubt, the individual must give the documents referred to in subsection (2) or (3) to the verifying person conducting the in person identity verification check even if the individual has previously given the same documents to the verifying person, or to a verifying person, in relation to another background check permitted under the CIRMP or any other CIRMP.
