The Information and Records Management (IRM) team are currently working on
your OIA requests. We note that these requests are resource intensive. We
would therefore like to check your eligibility to make an OIA request.
Section 12(1) of the OIA defines those who are entitled to make a request
under OIA as:
• a New Zealand citizen;
• a permanent resident of New Zealand;
• a person who is in New Zealand;
• a body corporate (i.e, company or incorporated society)
which is incorporated in New Zealand; or
• a body corporate which has a place of business in New

With regards to the timeframes, the University changed its Research

Dear Information and Records Management,
My eligibility to make an information request under Section 12(1) is my New Zealand citizenship. What proof of this is required? If the required verification involves personal legal documentation, does the University of Canterbury therefore wish to not fulfil partially anonymised requests for information by citizens?
The end date may be amended to 30 June 2025.
Yours sincerely,
D. Gray
From: Information and Records Management
University of Canterbury
Kia ora D Gray
