In some cases, you’ll need to provide photo ID to replace a document. If all your photo IDs have been lost or damaged, you can use an identity referee or witness to get a passport or KiwiAccess card.
An identity referee or witness can’t be related to you, and they can’t be your partner. They also have to:
be 16 or older
have known you for more than 1 year, or since birth
have a current or expired New Zealand passport
live at a different address from you
For more information about applying for a passport without photo ID, see the guidance on the Passports website, here. For more information about applying for a KiwiAccess card, see the FAQ on the KiwiAccess website, here.
