Justice of the Peace (JP) services are available on campus. JPs can witness signatures, certify documents, and in some cases carry out judicial duties such as presiding over hearings and trials and issuing search warrants and summons.

There is a JP service located at the AskOtago Central Hub, in the Central Library on the Dunedin campus every Wednesday between 9:00am and 3:00pm.

If you are not on campus, you can generate a list of JPs in New Zealand, by location, online. Some may also offer a remote service.
