How to track a request in New Zealand
New Zealand tracking is among the calm ones: the reference number, the status by e-mail answered in days, the announced deadlines kept. The only adjustment is the time zone — NZ lives in tomorrow.
Realistic margins
Certificate: days. Apostille: days. The post: 2-4 weeks. The complete corridor: three to five typical weeks — almost all of them postal.
