Finding a justice of the peace in Auckland
$Greetings All,
I'm just about to begin the process of applying for my NZ citizenship.
I don't have any concerns about being accepted - I've been a permanent resident for 5 years - and I tick all the right boxes.
I've read the guide to applying and the only thing I have a concern about is finding a justice of the peace, to co-sign my application and my photos.
Does anybody know about how to track a JOP down? The guide says that I can approach my MP, but (even though I've voted for him twice) I figure he's got better things to do than to do things like this.
Has anybody else encountered this issue?
Thanks in advance.

Re: Finding a justice of the peace in Auckland
Great stuff thanks.
When I'm walking the dog around the neighbourhood, there's a letter box outside a house with Justice Of The Peace marked on it, so he's probably one of these guys.
That makes it a bit easier than annoying my MP.
Thanks for the help.

If you google justice of the peace in your area it will give you a list of phone numbers and addresses

Your MP will tell you to take a running jump...

Doesn't have to be a JP. Ring around your local solicitors. Ours did it for free.

Re: Finding a justice of the peace in Auckland
I have a mate in Orewa who's a solicitor, she did ours for free. Whereabouts are you?
Best to make an appointment with the solicitor to do it, as they get a bit pissed off if you just turn up & expect them to do it. They may charge you a nominal fee then!
