Poll: What do you think about restricted access to the Hāwera emergency department?

Reporter Taranaki Daily News

Certified copies of documents

The team from Citizens Advice Bureau New Plymouth

Sometimes you need a certified copy of a document. This means that an authorised person signs the document to confirm that it is a true copy of the original.

This is one of the services provided by a Justice of the Peace (JP). There is a JP in attendance at our New Plymouth office on Monday mornings.

This service is free, and no appointment is necessary.

If Monday mornings don't suit, check with us about when a JP is available at other locations.
