Grab the documents listed below and let’s get started!
State-issued photo ID
You need your passport to start the application process.
Immigration New Zealand application number
This number was sent to you by email when your Working Holiday Visa was approved. Note that it’s not the visa number on your WHV.
You will find your Immigration New Zealand application number in the subject line of your WHV approval email. You can also find it on the New Zealand Immigration website by logging into your account and clicking on “My Application” on the right of the home page.
Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN)
New Zealand requires the tax number for your country of residence. For instance, Canadians must provide their Social Insurance Number, British citizens can enter their National Insurance Number, etc.
You can find your country’s acceptable TIN here.
New Zealand bank account details (optional)
It is possible to apply for an IRD number without having a bank account in New Zealand. To do so, select the “no bank account” option. However, you will need to add a New Zealand bank account number later on for tax purposes.
If you already have a New Zealand bank account, you will need to provide either:
- A bank statement (showing your surname[s], first name[s], account number…) OR
- A letter from your bank (showing your name and account number).
Can I apply for my IRD number if I have not travelled to New Zealand yet?
No, you must have entered the country and activated your WHV to apply for your IRD number.
