Apply for your Kiwi Access Card at NZ Post
Your new photographic evidence of age and identity card
The Kiwi Access Card has replaced the 18+ Card. It can be used as an evidence of age and identity card throughout New Zealand, and is available to both NZ nationals and foreign visitors.
Launched by Hospitality New Zealand, the new Kiwi Access Card has been created to better facilitate access to goods and services for everyone in New Zealand. It is the ideal means of identification if you do not have a valid passport and/or driver licence.
You can pick up the application form from a participating NZ Post Shop or AA Centre, or download the form below.
