Having Trouble Finding an Identity Witness for your Passport?

Hira Siddiqui from Citizens Advice Bureau Pakuranga/Eastern Manukau

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

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
