Dear Department of Internal Affairs,

Can you please provide the following detailed information for public awareness?

1) Number of Citizenship applications received and approved each day by DIA between Aug 15th and Sept 20th (inclusive).
2) Internal Processing Status (visible by Kaimahi) if available, and External Processing Status (shown to customer) for each application within the system from the result of Q1.
3) Weekly Citizenship approval numbers for each week (5-Day or 7-Day week or calendar week - whichever is easiest to retrieve) in May, June, July, August, September (or upto the date you start working on this request in September).
4) Dates and location (no address needed, just suburb e.g. Takapuna works for me) for all public Citizenship ceremonies scheduled or approved to occur between October 2025 and June 2026 in the Auckland Region.

Yours faithfully,
Rav
