Covid Passport for the elderly

Penny from Waikanae Beach

How can I get my 89 year old husband a Covid passport? He has had his 2 vaccines and he has the same details as me. My covid passport was easy to get we had our vaccines on the same day and were not given any "card" at Waikanae Beach medical centre as they had run out. My husband doesn't drive or travel., We had an old passport and an out of date driving licence they are rejected by the website. Also as he was born in 1932, that was too late to use the birth certificate we have. He has a Myheath account but that also doesn't work!!!
We are told we have to provide up to date Password, Driving licence, or birth certificate, but 1932 is too old to be accepted. We don't have those bits of identification and he don't need them. He wouldn't get a licence anyway. I have emailed Ministry of Health Covid line. No answer yet. Has anyone else had this experience? If so could you give me some suggestions so my husband can get his passport and travel around the district easily and freely.
