JP’S are here every Thursday from 6pm – 8pm and every Saturday from 10am – 12pm. You can find them on Level 1, by Japan Mart.

Note: The last day of JP services for 2024 will be Saturday 21st December. JP services will resume on Saturday 11th January 2025.

They can offer a range of services including:

• Witness signatures on documents
• Certify copies of documents (including email attachments and phone messages)
• Take oaths, declarations, affidavits or affirmations

Note: It is important that you do not sign any of your document(s) before you visit a Justice of the Peace. However, you can complete all other details required noting if the document needs to be witnessed, declared or sworn then the Justice of the Peace must complete what is required and must personally see you sign it.

If you require certified copies of a document e.g. your driver’s license or passport – you must produce the original and a photocopy to be certified.

All JP services are free to the public. To find a local JP or a service desk visit: https://justiceofthepeace.org.nz/Page/Search
