Kiwi Access Card
☑️ 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.
