Thank you for contacting the Official Information Act request mailbox for
the Ministry of Justice. We will endeavour to respond to your email within
2 working days

You can find more information about how we can help you at our [1]Official
Information Act Requests page.

Please note that by law, when you ask for official information we have to
respond to your request as soon as reasonably practicable and no later
than 20 working days after we receive it. However, over the holiday period
there is a three week period that doesn’t count as ‘working days’.

For Official Information Act (OIA) requests, that period is 25 December
2021 to 14 January 2022, inclusive. That means any OIA requests submitted
on 29 November 2021 or later may take a bit longer than you expected

Please send any non-OIA related emails through to
o[2][email address] and any complaints through to
