Summary checklist for JP clients

Valerie Wong from Northland Justices of the Peace Association

* 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.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
