Please supply a copy of your verified identification for the name you are enrolling under. We need to sight evidence of your name, date of birth and place of birth. A copy of your birth certificate or passport will provide this. We will accept a photo or scan of your identification as long as it is clear and the details are legible. You can upload your identification documents when enrolling online.
ID can be verified by a registered JP, the courts, police, a tumuaki or if in Ōtaki we have one on campus.
If not New Zealand born, we need to see evidence of NZ residency or citizenship. If your name has changed from what is on your birth certificate or passport you will need to provide evidence of this, such as a marriage certificate.
If you are a returning student (studied at Te Wānanga o Raukawa previously) we will already have your identification information. We will contact you if further identification is needed.
If you are experiencing difficulty in obtaining a copy of your birth certificate or passport, please contact Ratonga Ākonga (Student Services) on 0800 WANANGA (0800 926 2642). We may be able to help.
