Need for the Document

A New Zealand passport is issued to citizens of Niue for international travel.

You are a citizen if you were born in New Zealand, Niue, the Cook Islands or Tokelau before 1 January 2006. Children born on or after 1 January 2006 are only New Zealand citizens if one of their parents was a citizen or a permanent resident of New Zealand, Niue, the Cook Islands or Tokelau at the time of the child's birth.

The Niue defense and foreign affairs are the responsibility of New Zealand.

Information which might help

if you submit your application via a New Zealand Embassy, High Commission or Consulate office an additional fee of NZ$50.00 is payable.

This is paid directly to the diplomatic post in the local currency of the country you are in. Please note, not all offices provide this service.

If your new passport is being sent to a different delivery address rather than the same diplomatic post where you submitted your application, the relevant international courier fee will also be charged.

If you want your passport delivered to a different country from the country where you are lodging your application, you will need to pay a courier fee for delivery. The international courier fee will vary depending on where your new passport is being delivered.

International deliveries may be subject to additional fees and charges, imposed for example by the Courier Company and/or customs of the country where your new passport is being delivered to. These fees and charges can not be paid in advance to the Department of Internal Affairs, instead have to be paid directly to the courier company and/or customs by the applicant in the country of delivery.
