Thank you for your OIA request to the Department of Internal Affairs. Your
reference number is 2324-0302

 

We value your engagement and acknowledge your right to request information
under the OIA. Our team is committed to providing transparency and
accountability to the public.

 

In order to better assist, could you please confirm what you are hoping to
get from this request? 

 

If you are seeking information about processing timeframes for a specific
application, I must advise that the Department of Internal Affairs (the
Department) receive a number of Citizenship data requests which become
quickly outdated, as the data is constantly changing. 

 

If you have applied for Citizenship within the past twelve months, the
processing timeframes can be found here
[1]https://www.govt.nz/browse/passports-cit...

 

As noted on our website, once the Department has looked over the
application, you will be contacted if any additional information is
required.

 

Your request includes information specific to a country or countries. I
must advise that data counts between 1-4 are masked with <5 to help
prevent identification of individuals.

 

I note the submission date on your request is September 2023, will you
please confirm this is correct or did you mean September 2022?

 

The oldest applications being processed can be found here

Please confirm by Monday 13 November 2023 whether you wish for the
Department to proceed with your request or whether you would like someone
from the Department to contact you regarding your OIA request. If you
would like someone to contact you, please send an email with your phone
number to  [3][email address]. Please DO NOT REPLY
TO THIS RESPONSE WITH YOUR CONTACT NUMBER as it will become public on the
FYI website.

 

If you choose to continue with the OIA request, the Department will
provide a response as soon as practicable, and within twenty working
days.  The 20th working day is 1 December 2023

 

Please note that, in cases where the Department’s response provides
information that is identified to be of general public interest, the
response may also be published on the Department of Internal Affairs
website.  If the Department publishes its response to your OIA request,
all personal information, including your name and contact details, will be
removed.
