NEW WAYS TO GET AN IRD NUMBER

 

From 18 February 2008, people can apply in person for an individual IRD Number at any Automobile Association (AA) Driver Licencing Agent, PostShop, or selected New Zealand Post retail outlet. These agencies are Inland Revenue Appointed Verifiers.   They confirm the originals.   Taxpayers need to bring in one current original document from Category A below and one current original document from Category B below, plus photocopies of these documents.  Applications should be processed within 8-10 working days:

 

Category A

New Zealand full birth certificate (issued on or after 1 January 1998 )
New Zealand passport
Overseas passport
New Zealand emergency travel document
New Zealand firearm or dealers licence
New Zealand refugee travel document
New Zealand certificate of identity
New Zealand citizenship certificate

 

Category B

New Zealand driver licence
New Zealand 18+ card
New Zealand student photo identification card
A letter confirming registration of a student in New Zealand
An offer of employment from your employee, on their company letterhead

The new process does not apply to IRD umbers for non-individual customers such as companies, trusts and partnerships, and does not affect people who already have an IRD Number.
