Justice of the Peace

We have a free JP service available at Paraparaumu, Waikanae and Ōtaki Libraries.


What JPs do

Having a JP help you is free of charge. There's no need to make a booking but please be aware that you may have to wait.

JPs can help you with:

  • witnessing signatures
  • certifying documents
  • witnessing of land transfer and other documents
  • taking of declarations, affidavits or affirmations.

For more information on the range of services JPs offer, see their official website.
