Having Trouble Finding an Identity Witness for your Passport?

Hira Siddiqui from Citizens Advice Bureau Pakuranga/Eastern Manukau

If you're having difficulty finding a person who fits the criteria to be your identity referee for your passport application, here’s what you can do:
📌complete a printed application (rather than applying online)
📌complete a statutory declaration, and
📌mail both of these, along with other applicable documents, to the address on your application form.

These applications are assessed on a case-by-case basis meaning your application might take longer than normal, and it might not be successful.

For more information, including the details you must include in your statutory declaration and who can be the witness for it, go to: cab.org.nz/article/KB00001684

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
