Here are some examples of when you can request records about someone else, with their permission:
If OHF has records about a living whānau member, you can request access to any information in those records that are about you.
OHF may hold records about you and your siblings, that are grouped together in one file. You can request access to these records if you have permission from all the siblings the records are about. If you do not have permission, you can request access to those parts of the records that are about you.
You can request records on someone else’s behalf – for example, a whānau member.
In both cases, OHF will ask you for proof:
If you have written permission from the person, you are not required to provide anything else.
If you request records about a deceased whānau member, OHF consider what type of information you requested and the reason for your request.
In deciding whether they can provide you access to the records, OHF will balance your request with the need to maintain the privacy and mana of the deceased person.
If OHF will not give you access to the records, they should tell you why.
OHF may then ask you for proof of the whānau member’s death – for example, a death certificate.
