Documents you need to provide

National Student Number (NSN)

Once you have submitted your application we will check to see if you have a National Student Number (NSN). If you do, we will match your name, date of birth, citizenship or residency (provided in your application) against your NSN record.

If we are unable to locate your NSN number or you cannot provide it to us you will need to provide verified evidence of citizenship and identity. See section below for more information.

Evidence of citizenship and identity

Students must supply a copy of their current ID when completing their application. ID includes, Passport or Birth Certificate.

Other evidence of Identity.

A verified copy of a whakapapa statement is only acceptable when you cannot obtain a birth certificate.

This must be signed by you and a kaumatua as evidence of identity and citizenship. The college must then confirm with the Tertiary Education Commission (TEC) if they will accept this type of evidence in each individual circumstance.
