Renewing an existing New Zealand passport? We review your renewal application before you submit it to New Zealand Passports.
Adult New Zealand passports are valid for 10 years. Renewing before or shortly after expiry is generally simpler than a first time application, but still requires a correctly completed form, a current compliant photo, and accurate personal details matching your previous passport and other identity records.
Tell us your personal details and send a copy of your current or expired passport.
We review your form, photo and details against New Zealand Passports' renewal requirements.
We walk you through submitting your renewal directly to New Zealand Passports.
New Zealand Passports processes and issues your renewed passport directly to you.
The government application fee and courier fee are paid directly to New Zealand Passports as part of your application and may change without notice; they are separate from our fee. The exact total depends on whether the passport is for an adult or a child, standard or urgent processing, and the delivery destination; the full breakdown is shown before you pay.
Many countries require at least 3-6 months of remaining validity for travel, so it's worth renewing well before expiry. We can advise based on your travel plans.
It depends on how long ago it expired; in some cases this is treated as a new application. We'll confirm which process applies to you.
No. Passports are issued exclusively by New Zealand Passports. We only review and prepare your renewal application; New Zealand Passports processes and issues the passport.
