We are changing the fees because currency exchange rates have changed significantly in recent months, and the fees that we charge outside New Zealand are no longer aligned with the value of the New Zealand dollar. The affected currencies are the Euro, British Pound, US Dollar, Chinese Yuan and Hong Kong Dollar.
Our office and fees finder will be updated on 31 May 2010. Until then, it will show the current fees only. See also a spreadsheet with the new fees, effective on and after 31 May 2010 [MS Excel 1MB].
If you lodge an application on or after 31 May 2010 you must pay the new fee, or we will not accept your application. If you have any doubts, please contact the branch where you are lodging the application.
