Kiwi Access Card

Hira Siddiqui from Citizens Advice Bureau Pakuranga/Eastern Manukau

☑️ The Kiwi Access Card, previously known as the 18+ Card, is a government recognised form of photographic ID and evidence of age card. If you do not have a current New Zealand passport or driver licence, you can use the Kiwi Access Card to apply for a RealMe verified identity or a driver licence.

👉 You can apply for a Kiwi Access Card if you are 18 or older or your 18th birthday is within one month. You do not have to be a New Zealand citizen to apply for the card, but you must be living in New Zealand.

👉 You can either apply online or by paper application form. It usually takes about 20 working days for your card to arrive. It will be valid for 10 years.

ℹ️ For more information on how you can apply for your Kiwi Access Card, visit: cab.org.nz/article/KB00001129

Kōnae: Find Your Records

Hira Siddiqui from Citizens Advice Bureau Pakuranga/Eastern Manukau

If you want to know how to request records about you or your whānau visit Kōnae: My Records Guide konae.org.nz.

Kōnae has information on more than 60 state and faith-based organisations that have records for over 800 homes and places in Aotearoa New Zealand about people who have been in their guardianship or care.

The Kōnae map shows past and present places in Aotearoa New Zealand like children’s homes, hospitals, orphanages, boarding schools, Youth Justice facilities and many more.

Each place on the map has details about who was responsible for running it and how to get records.

The map can be searched and filtered by
- name
- location
- date range
- religion
- type of organisation.

If you want support to use the website or to find your records, you can get in touch with your local CAB on 0800 367 222, email or message via cab.org.nz, or visit a CAB near you cab.org.nz/find-a-cab

Accessing records can bring up a range of emotions, we encourage you to take care of your wellbeing. You can find suggestions of support at konae.org.nz/support
