Dear Ministry of Health,
I've tried to contact the folks at FYI because I'm unable to see the email
address you provided in order to email you my proof of identity but no
reply from them after two separate attempts.
I'm not sure what to do from here as I suspect it's not a great idea to
upload a photo of my NZ passport publicly.
Is it sufficient (and safe) to just provide my passport number?

Yours faithfully,

Damian Peterson
