D10.5 Offences under other legislation

While the Immigration Act 1987 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, and passport forgery by the Passports Act 1992. The Police conduct such prosecutions.
