Me kōrero mai kanohi ki te kanohi
Talk to us in person

Our kaimahi can answer pātai and provide printed application forms, ownership lists, and publicly available court records.

For general enquiries, you don't need an appointment. You are welcome to turn up between 10am and 4pm, Monday to Friday. However, if you are wanting to view physical records, you will need to contact us to book an appointment. Physical records can only be viewed in the office they are located in.

Paneke 

If you’d like to speak to us kanohi ki te kanohi but you’re unable to travel to one of our offices, you can attend paneke, which offer Māori Land Court services in smaller centres across the motu.

Paneke means to ‘pass by’ or ‘pass through’ and it is the term used to refer to Māori Land Court services away from the district offices. Paneke are an opportunity for court users based in smaller towns and centres to meet with our kaimahi and kōrero about:

• completing application forms
• submitting an enquiry
• searching the court record
• updates on current applications and enquiries
• updating information in Pātaka Whenua
• other services normally available at a Māori Land Court office.

To request an appointment at an upcoming paneke, submit an enquiry through Pātaka Whenua or contact your nearest office.
