Tçnâ koe,

 

Thank you for your request made under Official Information Act 1982 (OIA).
We note your request refers to both the GCSB and NZSIS, and therefore
consider your request as made to both agencies. If this was not your
intent, please advise. The GCSB and NZSIS have some shared corporate
functions.

 

Before we begin processing your request, we require more information to
establish your eligibility to make a request under the OIA. Per Section 12
of the OIA, to be eligible to make a request you must be:

•             a New Zealand citizen or permanent resident;

•             a person in New Zealand; or

•             a corporate entity (that is, a company or an incorporated
society) which is either incorporated in New Zealand or has a place of
business here.

 

We would appreciate it if you could please provide us with information
that confirms your eligibility to make an OIA request. This could be a
posted or emailed scan of a New Zealand driver’s licence or passport, or
evidence of residency in New Zealand, such as a utility bill with your
name/address.

 

If you would prefer to not provide evidence of your eligibility to us
directly, you are welcome to provide it via the Office of the Ombudsman,
or ask FYI.org to make a request on your behalf (refer ‘Can I make an OIA
request using a pseudonym?’ on  [1]https://fyi.org.nz/help/privacy).

 

If you have any queries, please feel free to contact
[2][GCSB request email] and/or [3][email address].

 

Ngâ mihi,

GCSB and NZSIS
