A Justice of the Peace (JP) can carry out many administrative and judicial functions in New Zealand. In particular a JP can help you by:
- certifying copies of documents
- witnessing signatures
- taking statutory declarations and affidavits
- completing many other tasks that require formal signatures or approval.
Justices of the Peace are volunteers and their services are free.
