take in seeking to identify the AAA, through the Registrar General, the court, or the local authority for the area in which the adoption took place. The Registrar General may be able to identify, from the records he holds, if an adoption agency was involved in the adoption and the name of that agency. It needs to be borne in mind that, for past adoptions, the courts had no obligation to notify the Registrar General of the name of the adoption agency and the court itself may be the best source of information. Where the Registrar General does hold information about the AAA, he is obliged by ISR 14.1 to disclose this information to the intermediary agency. Where he does not hold this information he is required by ISR 14.2 to provide the intermediary agency with written confirmation of that fact together with details of the court that made the adoption order. ISR 12.2.b then permits the intermediary agency to make an application direct to the court for the information it needs, and the court is required by virtue of ISR 15 to supply the information, for which it may charge a fee of up to £20. Where the court is unable to comply with the request because it does not hold the information sought, it must notify the intermediary agency in writing, specifying the searches that have been made of the court records. Where it has reason to consider that another court may hold the relevant information it must also provide the intermediary agency with details of that court. 10.68. An application to the court for information to identify the AAA, is to be distinguished from an application by an adopted person, or a birth relative to a court under Rule 53(4) of the Adoption Rules 1984 or Rule 32(1),(3) and (6) of the Magistrates’ Courts (Adoption) Rules 1984 asking for other information f
