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.

No Sandmining Bream Bay/Ruakākā
Help protect our precious coastlines by signing the petition to stop destructive sand mining in Bream Bay, which includes Waipu Cove, Langs Beach and Ruakākā.
Sand mining destroys sea floors, erodes coastal protections, and threatens the habitats of critically endangered species like the tara iti - our most endangered bird with less that 40 left.
Why is this so urgent?
McCallum Bros Ltd (MBL), an Auckland-based mining company, is planning to extract 9 million cubic meters of sand from the seabed in Bream Bay over the next 35 years. Their proposal includes dredging up to five nights a week, for six hours at a time, with all the sand being sold to Auckland's construction industry.
This operation is expected to generate $270 million in revenue, or approximately $7.7 million annually, for MBL. Meanwhile, Bream Bay will see no benefits—only lasting harm. The dredging will cause irreversible damage to marine life, fish populations, and surf breaks, devastating the local ecosystem.
MBL is seeking consent for this project through the fast-track process, which excludes public consultation. This means we have no say in whether they can take our sand, destroy marine habitats, and damage our seabed.
The proposal will be presented to the government in mid-January 2025. We are at a critical moment.
Take action now — sign and share this petition to protect Bream Bay.
