Having Trouble Finding an Identity Witness for your Passport?
If you're having difficulty finding a person who fits the criteria to be your identity referee for your passport application, here’s what you can do:
📌complete a printed application (rather than applying online)
📌complete a statutory declaration, and
📌mail both of these, along with other applicable documents, to the address on your application form.
These applications are assessed on a case-by-case basis meaning your application might take longer than normal, and it might not be successful.
For more information, including the details you must include in your statutory declaration and who can be the witness for it, go to: cab.org.nz/article/KB00001684

We all want our favourite spots to stay open, but we also have to balance our own budgets ⚖️
We want to know: How are you handling the "coffee math" in 2026? Are you still heading to your local for a chat and a caffeine fix, or has the cost of living changed your habits?

Got more greens than you know what to do with? 🥦🌱🥕
Whether it’s a courgette takeover or a feijoa frenzy, don’t let those garden gems go to waste!
Our suggestion to you: Did you know you can grate and freeze excess courgettes to use in chocolate cake later? It sounds a bit dodgy, but it makes the cake incredibly moist ... and hey, it counts as a serving of veg, right? 🍫
