Document Certification

Any documents you submit as part of your application must be certified by an acceptable certification body or official as a true copy of the original document.

They must check and date stamp every page of a document with a certifying statement.

Acceptable authorities for certifying documents are:

• A New Zealand consular official of an embassy/high commission
• A government/municipal official with the legal right to take official declarations
• A notary service with the legal right to take official declarations or with an official apostille stamp
• An officer of the court with the legal right to take official declarations
• A justice of the peace with the legal right to take official declarations
• A registrar (or equivalent) from the academic institution who awarded the qualification
• A Whitireia or WelTec approved recruitment agent.

If your documents are not written in English, you will need to get your documents translated by an official translator. The translations will also need to be certified.

You must then submit certified copies of both the English translation and the translated document with your application. 

If the name on your application does not match the name on your birth certificate or passport you must also send us a certified copy of your marriage certificate or deed poll to match the name you used on your application.
