Tçnâ koe,

Thank you for contacting the Department of Internal Affairs.  You have
contacted us during the annual legislative closedown period of public
service OIA processing, which spans 24 December 2024 to 15 January 2025
(inclusive). 

During this period public service Official Information Act processing is
suspended.

If you are making a new Official Information Act (OIA) request for
information held by the Department, we will respond to you after OIA
processing resumes on Thursday the 16th January 2025.  You can check the
time limit for the Department’s response in the [1]Ombudsman’s OIA
Response Calculator. 

If you are contacting the Department about information that is held by a
different agency; a Minister; or a Local Authority, you will receive your
answer up to two weeks sooner if you [2]request the information from them
directly.  If you will be contacting them directly, please take a moment
to let us know that you are withdrawing your request to the Department.

Nâku noa, nâ
