Unfortunately it appears that some clients and JPs do not read the instructions on the 18+ application forms.
The form requires that either Step 5 or 6 are to be completed. With Step 5 the main forms of evidence of identity to be produced are either a current passport (from any country) or a current New Zealand drivers licence with photo. Step 6 is required when the applicant cannot provide photo ID as per step 5, in which case an identifyer must fill in this section and sign and date a passport size photograph of the applicant.
I recently had a client in which both section 5 and 6 were completed. She said that she had seen a JP the previous day who refused to take the declaration because Step 6 as well as Step 5 was required, which is incorrect.
A few days later a client came back to me after her 18+ form in which Sep 5 was completed and the declaration signed by me was rejected by a Postshop because I had not signed the back of her photo. So even the Postshop staff are not fully informed of requirements.
There is no longer any issues with 18 Plus cards as they no longer have a declaration to be witnessed by a JP
