On 10 August 2022, the Minister of Foreign Affairs transferred your request to the Ministry of
Foreign Affairs and Trade (the Ministry), as the Minister’s office does not hold the information
you are requesting.
The Ministry also does not hold information relating to your request. We have consulted with the
Department of Internal Affairs (DIA) regarding a transfer of your request. DIA have advised us
that, although they hold information on the issuance of diplomatic passports, they do not record
information about the ethnicity of the passport holder. Therefore, we are refusing your request
in full under section 18(g) of the OIA, as the information you have requested is not held by the
Ministry and we have no reason to believe it is held by another agency.
DIA have also informed us that they have been corresponding with you for several months
regarding these issues, and they again refer you to that previous correspondence.
Please note that we may publish this letter (with your personal details redacted) on the
Ministry’s website.
If you have any questions about this decision, you can contact us by email at:
[email address]. You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the
Ombudsman of this decision by contacting
www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or freephone
0800 802 602.
