Dear New Zealand Police,

I would like to request for the following information under the Official Information Act 1982 (the OIA).

1. How many police vetting service requests have been made by Immigration New Zealand between 1 January 2022 and today?

2. Of these, how many have been completed (police vetting outcome communicated to Immigration New Zealand)?

3. Could you please provide a breakdown by month of the number of police vetting service requests received from Immigration New Zealand and the number of police vetting service requests completed since 1st January 2022?

4. How many police vetting service requests from Immigration New Zealand are still pending on the day this OIA request is made?

5. What is the current processing timeframe to answer a police vetting service request from Immigration New Zealand?

6. In what order are the police vetting service requests from Immigration New Zealand processed? Some requests have been pending for more than 4 months whereas some are released on the day they are requested.

Thanks in advance.

Yours faithfully,

Julie Mariuzzo

Kia ora Julie,
Thank you for your response.
One more question, we complete both General Residence Visa requests and
currently the Residence Visa 2021 programme?
Is it both that you require statistics on or just the Residence 2021
Programme?

Kind Regards,
