Thank you to JPs (Justices of the Peace)
Just wanting to acknowledge JPs nationwide, who make it possible for Kiwilaw to offer cost-effective document-preparation services. Clients appreciate being able to attend a JP and have documents signed without the cost of a lawyer's appointment.
I have had several instances where JPs have been unsure of whether what they are being asked to do is correct; and usually they have then checked with a court registrar or another colleague, to make sure they have got things right.
It is particularly helpful to know they can verify someone's identity for court or land-registration purposes by sighting an original passport or driver's licence and certifying a photocopy as a true copy. I cannot lawfully do that by distance.
They don't get paid for this; and they make a real difference.
Thank you.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
