PSPLA DELIVERY CHANGES

No PSPLA products will be sent to NZ Post Office locations for collection.

  2. fill in the form
  3. confirm your payment method
  4. give a suitable passport-style photo
  5. give details of your identification (ID) Passport - If you are using an overseas passport as evidence of identity, you will also need to file a copy of your visa or other evidence that you are entitled to work in security in New Zealand.
