Beyond residence

The next stage of your New Zealand journey.

Practical assistance with New Zealand citizenship and passport applications.

We help clients understand the process, prepare supporting information and keep identity and overseas-document requirements organised.

A separate process

From residence to citizenship—and from citizenship to a passport.

Citizenship and passports are administered by the Department of Internal Affairs, not Immigration New Zealand. The process, evidence and decision-making framework are therefore different from a visa or residence application.

Our role is to provide practical application assistance, clarify the sequence and help manage supporting documentation.

How we can assist

Support through the next milestone.

Citizenship

By grant

Application assistance and organisation of the information required for a citizenship by grant application.

Connection

By descent

Practical guidance around registering citizenship by descent before a first New Zealand passport application.

Identity

New Zealand passports

Assistance with first passport applications, renewals and supporting identity information.

Evidence

Supporting documents

Help identifying, organising and, where appropriate, procuring documents needed from New Zealand or overseas.

Eligibility and final decisions remain with the Department of Internal Affairs. Service availability depends on the circumstances and assistance required.
