* Phone the JP for an appointment (unless going to one of our local Service Desks).
* Explain what it is you need to be completed - some documents can take more time than you expect.

* Please bring photo ID preferably otherwise some other form of identification. It may not be required but it pays to be prepared.
* If the documentation you are requiring to be processed originated outside of New Zealand, check that a NZ JP can complete it for you. In some cases, a JP may not be able to act and you may need the services of a Notary Public.
* If you need a certified copy of a document, please bring the original document and the cop(y/ies) that need(s) certifying.

Isabella the Resilient
Once upon a time, in the humble town of Waipu, lived a spirited girl named Isabella. Everyone knew her as a bubbly child, full of charm and vitality, spreading joy wherever she went. But everything changed on her 16th birthday.

The day was filled with laughter and love, as her friends and family gathered in Waipu to celebrate. But in a horrific twist of fate, a casual play with her younger brother ended tragically. Isabella, attempting to catch a runaway balloon, tripped and fell through a glass window. The glass shattered around her like crystal rain, piercing her right arm terribly and scarring her face.

The injuries were so severe that her right arm had to be amputated. The loss of her arm and the scars on her face seemed to steal away her joyous spirit. She was no longer the radiant Isabella everyone knew. Instead, she became the target of harsh words and cruel whispers. Names like 'Scarface' followed her like a shadow.

Yet, in the midst of adversity, Isabella found a well of inner strength she never knew she possessed. She chose to turn her pain into purpose and decided not to let her circumstances define her.

Driven by this newfound resolve, she pursued a career in badminton. Many people doubted her, but she proved them wrong. With fiery determination, she trained harder than anyone else, mastering the art of the game with just one arm.

Isabella's victories on the badminton court earned her a scholarship to university. Though her journey was far from easy, she flourished. Her story was a beacon of inspiration for others, and she was no longer 'Scarface,' but 'Isabella the Resilient'.

However, she wanted to do more than just inspire; she wanted to make a tangible difference. Thus, she pursued a career in medicine, her ambition fueled by her own experience. She worked tirelessly, her spirit unbroken, eventually becoming Dr. Isabella Rossi, a leading expert in the field of regenerative medicine.

True to her cause, she turned her focus towards developing better treatments for scarred skin. She researched relentlessly, driven by the memory of her pain, her disfigurement, and the torment she endured. She wanted no one to suffer as she had, and she believed in the beauty of every scar - a testament to the strength of human endurance.

After years of work, she unveiled a revolutionary treatment that reduced and healed scars, helping thousands reclaim their confidence and lives. As the news of her achievement spread, Isabella's name echoed in every corner of the world.

Isabella, who was once called 'Scarface', had transformed her own scars into symbols of resilience. Her story touched the hearts of millions, reshaping the narrative of adversity. It was no longer about the pain endured but about the strength discovered within. And for all the Isabellas in the world, she became a beacon of hope and a testament to human resilience, compassion, and determination.

Isabella's journey from the traumatic incident on her 16th birthday to becoming an acclaimed doctor and an inspiration to many was a testament to her indomitable spirit. Her story serves as a poignant reminder that it is not our circumstances, but how we respond to them, that truly defines us.
