Protective Decree Number Three

The newly created Muggleborn Registration Commission has expressed concerns that many so-called 'muggleborn' witches and wizards have expressed a desire to not identify themselves to the Ministry and the Commission. This subversive behavior should be seen as an attempt to usurp the power of the Ministry of Magic by avoiding Protective Decree Number Two, and could also be considered as evidence as to their guilt on the question of magical power obtained by theft.

All witches and wizards should be on alert in this matter of grave importance. If you have neighbours or acquaintances whom you believe are Muggleborn and are avoiding the summons to appear at the Ministry of Magic for questioning, you are required to report them to the Muggleborn Registration Commission.
