Dear New Zealand Police,
Rather than have my personal information published along with this foi request , if i turn up in person at the nearest police station would that satisfy the requirement under the act for me to be a resident of New Zealand ?

New Zealand Police
'Do not reply to this message, this email message has been sent from an

Thank you for your email.
The information that you have been asked to provide is compulsory in order
to make a Official Information request (OIA). You have been requested to
provide this information by the department who process all the OIA
requests for Police.
If you go into the police station, they will just refer you to the Police
website as this is where OIA requests are usually processed.
If you make an OIA request through the Police website we will not publish
the results or your details - the response to you is private. It is the
FYI website that you have used to make the request that publish the
results in a public forum - not police.
It is your choice if you decide to continue with the request through the
FYI website, or if you decide to make the request VIA the Police website.
Either way we still require that you provide the details that the OIA
department has asked for, for your request to be processed. We will not be
able to help with this at a Police Station.
Information that may assist you is available through the following link:
[1]http://www.police.govt.nz/about-us/publi...
Please email us again at [2][New Zealand Police request email] if we can help you
any further.
Kind Regards
New Zealand Police

Dear New Zealand Police,
under the act published online ,
http://www.legislation.govt.nz/act/publi...
under requests it says that they can be made by " a person who is in New Zealand"
and that they "may be made in any form and communicated by any means (including orally) "
just to clarify , would the police not allow me communicate orally , in person , to satisfy the requirement that i am "a person who is in New Zealand"
Yours faithfully,
T Smith

collation or research.
Pursuant to Section 19 of the Official Information Act 1982, and/or,

A few points here:
1. Police are allowed to verify eligibility, and the OIA doesn't prescribe how. However, in my opinion the personal details requested above are quite unreasonable, and I suspect that the Office of the Ombudsman would agree were they to receive a complaint. They have stated agencies are entitled to ask "reasonable questions." In my opinion just a New Zealand phone number or address should be sufficient.
(In my opinion this looks like an attempt to discourage you from proceeding with your request.)
2. Rather than provide personal information here, you could phone the number listed or email: Wellington dot OIA -at- police.govt.nz (which the email came from).
3. If you do contact them outside FYI, please make clear that your details are not for contact purposes and that under section 16(2) you require your response sent to your FYI email address. You have that right.
(Some authorities have been known to use the eligibility information as a way to keep their OIA response off the FYI website.)
There is some guidance from the Office of the Ombudsman on eligibility requirements (including FYI specifically) here:
