No appointment is necessary when coming to a Service Desk. However, if you need a JP outside of these Service Desk hours, you will need to find one by going to justiceofthepeace.org.nz. Use the Quick Find function by typing in a/your suburb and clicking "Search". This will bring up a list of Justices of the Peace in that location with their contact details and availability. You will then need to contact the JP and arrange an appointment.

* 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.
