If you have not previously studied at NMIT, you will need to provide proof of citizenship in order to finalise your enrolment. To do this we will need to view a verified copy/original of one of the following documents:

• Birth Certificate with a place of birth stated as New Zealand, Cook Island, Tokelau or Niue
• New Zealand or Australian passport
• NMIT's Whakapapa Statement
• Certificate of citizenship or letter of confirmation
• Overseas passport with residency label
• Overseas passport with work visa label/working holiday label

A drivers licence cannot be used as it does not state your citizenship or gender.

You can bring the original documentation to Enrolments Centre or provide a verified copy (a photocopy of your original document - signed as being a true and accurate copy). 

Who can legally verify your documents?

• A Justice of the Peace (JP)
• Barrister or Solicitor
• Notary Public
• Court Register
• Deputy Registrar

You can also ask:

• A Member of Parliament
• Land Transport New Zealand
• Public Trust or local authority employee designated for this purpose.

If you are in a remote community and unable to access a person listed in the Oaths and Declaration Act, a member of the New Zealand Police, school principal, minister of religion, or general practitioner is acceptable. 

A driver's licence is not acceptable proof of identification as it does not state your residency or gender.
