Summary checklist for JP clients
* 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.
* Do not sign any of your documents beforehand - you may complete the details required but if the document needs to be witnessed, declared or sworn, the Justice of the Peace must complete what is required and must personally see you sign it.
* 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.
For the complete checklist, visit the Royal Federation of NZ Justices' Associations website.

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?
-
59.9% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.7% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.4% ... It is complicated
