Please answer the following queries regarding the Customs/IR
Student Loan Alerts Programme :
1) Is the matching criteria used for the the Customs/IR Student
Loan Alerts Programme (full name, date of birth, and IRD number)
also applied to overseas passports or is the matching criteria only
applied to New Zealand passports?
2) In the technical information for this programme an unique
identifier of "Tax File Number" is specified, does this refer to an
individuals IRD number or to their Australian Tax File Number?
3) What provisions are in place for individuals that have changed
their name and will not be identified by the matching criteria in
place for this programme?
Yours faithfully,
Michael Rescue
