Child’s personal details
Names
Write the name you want to appear in the child’s
passport. This name must be a name that is ocially
registered; for example, a name by birth, a name changed
by deed poll or statutory declaration, or the name on
the child’s citizenship certificate. Do not use nicknames
or names that the child is “commonly known as”.
Surname or family name is also known as last name
First and middle names are also known as given
names. These are any names the child has apart
from their surname
If the child only has one name, write it in the space
provided for surname or family name.
If the child’s name includes a diacritic please contact
us for advice.
Height and eye colour
Height and eye colour is important information.
We can’t process the application without it.
Write the child’s height in centimetres
Choose an eye colour that is closest to the child’s,
such as brown, blue, green, grey, hazel or black.
Gender diverse (X) and changing your child’s gender
identity
If you would like your child’s passport issued in a
gender that is dierent to their birth record, citizenship
record or previous passport, write your child’s preferred
gender in the changing gender identity section of the
passport application form or you may request gender
X by ticking the gender X box. You will also need to
provide a letter from a registered medical counsellor or
medial professional which supports this change. This
letter must be on the practitioner’s ocial letter head.
Gender X and international travel
While New Zealand travel systems recognise “X” gender
passports, some international travel authorisation
systems and e-Gates may not. You may still be asked to
provide your child’s gender information as either male
or female when travelling. You may want to check with
the embassy or high commission of any country you
wish to visit or transit through to enquire about any
entry requirements. For more information, please visit
our website www.passports.govt.nz/what-you-need-to-
renew-orapply-for-a-passport/information/

in this section.
New Zealand Passport
You are not required to send the child’s previous
New Zealand Passport in with this application.

.
The Department of Internal Aairs reserves the right to
request the return of any travel document at any time.

Child’s entitlement to a New Zealand Passport
Only New Zealand citizens are entitled to a New Zealand
Passport. The information you give us will help us
confirm that the child is a New Zealand citizen.
Children born in New Zealand, Niue, the Cook Islands
or Tokelau before 1 January 2006 are automatically
New Zealand citizens by birth.
Children born on, or after 1 January 2006 are only
NewZealand citizens if at least one of their parents was
a citizen or permanent resident of New Zealand, Niue, the
Cook Islands or Tokelau at the time of the child’s birth.
The child’s birth record will clearly state if a child born
on, or after 1 January 2006 is not a citizen by birth.
If a child is not a New Zealand citizen by birth, he or
she must obtain citizenship before they are entitled to
a New Zealand Passport.
Born in New Zealand and a citizen by birth
If the child was born in New Zealand and is a citizen
by birth tick this option to indicate their entitlement.
Born in Niue, the Cook Islands or Tokelau and a
citizen by birth
If the child was born in Niue, the Cook Islands or
Tokelau and is a citizen by birth, tick this option to
indicate their entitlement.
You will need to send us the child’s original birth
certificate if you are applying for the child’s first
passport.
New Zealand citizenship by grant or descent
If the child has obtained New Zealand citizenship either
by grant or by descent, fill in the child’s name and
citizenship certificate number in the spaces provided.
If you believe the child is entitled to citizenship but
has not obtained a citizenship certificate, you will need
to contact the Citizenship Oce (you must determine
the child’s citizenship status through the New Zealand
Citizenship Oce before we can issue them with a
New Zealand Passport. Visit www.citizenship.govt.nz
for more information).
5
Names at birth
To confirm that the child is entitled to a New Zealand
Passport, we need to know their name at birth. We also
need to know the names of the parents as they appear on
the child’s birth record, and the mother’s name at her birth.
If the child was legally adopted, write the names of
the adoptive parents and the names that the child
was given after adoption.
This information should match what is written on the
child’s birth record.
6
Name change by statutory declaration or
deed poll
If the child’s name has ever been changed by statutory
declaration or deed poll, you must fill in this section.
Write the child’s most recent name change. If the name
has been changed more than once, write the details
on a separate piece of paper and send it with this
application form.
For any name changes made outside New Zealand, you
need to send us the original documents with this application.
If the child was born overseas, you need to send us the
original name change documents for any name change
registered in New Zealand before 25 January 2009.
7
Child’s emergency contact
Give us the name and contact details of a person who
can be contacted in emergency situations.
If the child has an accident, becomes sick, or is
involved in an incident while they are travelling
overseas, someone can be contacted on their behalf.
We recommend that you choose a person who is
not likely to be travelling with you or the child.
8
Declaration for a lost, stolen or damaged
passport, or other travel document
Fill in this section only if the child’s passport or travel
document has been lost, stolen or damaged.
The declaration must include details of how, when and
where the passport was lost, stolen or damaged.
If your child’s passport has been lost, stolen or damaged
and you do not wish to apply for a replacement passport
immediately, you must notify the New Zealand Passport
Oce as soon as possible so their passport can be
invalidated and cannot be used for travel. Please contact
your nearest New Zealand Passport Oce for advice on
how to do this.
If your child’s passport or travel document has been lost,
stolen or damaged outside New Zealand, and you require
assistance or advice on how to obtain an emergency
passport, please contact your nearest New Zealand
Passport Oce, Embassy or High Commision.
The loss or theft of a passport or travel document
is a serious matter. If the child’s passport or travel
document has been lost or stolen, processing may take
longer as we may need to make further enquiries.
9
Statutory Declaration
What is a statutory declaration?
A statutory declaration is a written statement
declaring something to be true in the presence of
an authorised witness.
Will I need to complete this section?
Complete the statutory declaration only if any of the
following apply to the child:
the child is wearing a head covering or headband in
GUIDE NOTES 2

Tick the declaration statement that applies to the

Write your name, home address and contact details in
this section (not those of the child).
You will need to find an authorised witness before you
sign and date the declaration.
Who can be an authorised witness for a statutory
declaration?
The witness for a statutory declaration must be one
of the following:
Justice of the Peace
Member of Parliament
• Lawyer
Registered Legal Executive (Fellow of NZILE)
Government Ocer authorised to take statutory
declarations.
When you have found a witness, you may need to
make an appointment with them and take the child’s
application form with you.
You must sign and date the statutory declaration
section in front of the witness, and then the witness
must sign to confirm that you have signed the
declaration in front of them.
10
Consent for issue of a passport to a child
Who can give consent?
Consent to issue a passport to a child must be given
by a parent named on the child’s birth record or by
a legal guardian.
A legal guardian is someone who has been appointed
through a court process or in a parent’s will.
Legal guardianship
If you are the child’s legal guardian send us the original:
guardianship order if you are a court appointed
guardian of the child, OR
• the parent’s will appointing you as a testamentary
guardian and the parent’s death certificate.
A parenting order (also known as a custody or
access order) does not give you legal guardianship.
A step-parent is not a child’s legal guardian unless
they have been appointed through a court process or
in a parent’s will.
The Care of Children Act 2004 requires that, where
possible, all the guardians of a child must be consulted
when making decisions about important matters
aecting the child. The parent or guardian completing
the application for the child is responsible for consulting
with the other parents or guardians of the child.
Your name and date of birth
Write the name you currently use and your date of birth.
If your current name is dierent from what is written on
the child’s birth record or guardianship order, write the
place and date that the name change took place.
Send us your original marriage, civil union or name
change certificate if your marriage, civil union or name
change took place outside New Zealand.
Send us your original name change by statutory
declaration or deed poll certificate if you were born
overseas and your name change was registered in
New Zealand before 25 January 2009.
Your home address
This is the place where you are currently living. Do not
give a box or bag number or a ‘care of’ (c/-) address.
Your contact details
We need your contact details in case we have questions
about the child’s application or if we need to contact you
about the child’s passport. Write in phone numbers and
an email address so we can contact you.
Who can discuss this application with us?
We can only discuss the details of a child’s application
with the parent or guardian giving consent on the form,
unless the parent or guardian giving consent gives us
permission to talk to someone else.
Court orders
A court order can be made that prevents a child from
leaving New Zealand. If the order has been made in a
New Zealand court, or made overseas and registered in
New Zealand, we will not issue a passport to the child
until directed by the court.
A parenting order will not prevent the other parent
or guardian(s) from getting a passport for the child.
If you are unsure about court orders, you may wish
to contact a lawyer for advice.
11
Witness section
Please get your witness to read this section
of the Guide Notes before they fill in section

including a day-time phone number.
Child’s witness writes on the back of one photo
The child’s witness must write the child’s full name,
their own signature and the date on the back of one
photo. A business that takes passport photos will
usually supply one photo with a pre-printed label
on the back.
GUIDE NOTES 3
Witness declaration
The child’s witness must sign and date the declaration to
show they understand their obligations under the law.
Photos – getting passport quality photos
Provide two identical colour photos that are less than
6months old and send them with this application. Do
not staple or paperclip the photos to the application
as this will damage them and we may not be able to
use them in your passport.
New technology has been introduced to scan passport
photos and ensure that they meet international travel
standards. We strongly recommend that you obtain the
child’s photos from a business that provides a passport
photo service, as the business will help ensure that the
photos meet our requirements.
Photographs that do not meet our requirements will
NOT be accepted and this will delay the issue of the
child’s new passport.
To help you avoid some of the most common problems
with photo quality, we have summarised the main
