Hello Good day, 
My name is Margie Tan and I'm requesting on behalf of my 2 months old son Kylo T. Canonoy. We are currently in NZ with a temp visa. My visa specifically will expire on 02/05/2024 ,Thus I'm making this request as my son doesn't have a passport yet. He's 2 months old and is breastfeed, apart from that, we don't have any relatives to take care of him here if I have to exit NZ. I hope you can help us expedite the processing,we have applied for his passport back on Dec 11, 2023 on PE wellington.  I tried contacting oca, 5 days ago but haven't heard anything yet. Please help me.
