Documents, credit references and driver licences

Your first few days in New Zealand are more likely to be easy and problem-free if you arrive with the following documents:

  • birth certificates
  • marriage certificates
  • academic qualifications
  • references from previous employers
  • curriculum vitae
  • credit references
  • an international driver licence or permit


All documents should be originals, not copies. If documents are not in English they should be accompanied by a certified translation.
