• Identity Documents: Valid passports and two recent passport-sized photographs for all applicants.
• Relationship Evidence: Full birth certificates proving the relationship between the parent and the sponsor. For grandparents or guardians, death certificates of the parents are required.
• Sponsor’s Financial Proof: Official Summary of Income or tax assessments from the New Zealand Inland Revenue (IRD) for the required two-year period.
• Sponsor’s Residency Proof: Evidence of the sponsor’s New Zealand citizenship or residence status and proof of physical presence (e.g., utility bills, employment records).
• Health and Character Records: Medical certificates and chest X-rays (less than 3 months old) and police certificates from your country of citizenship and any country where you have lived for 12 months or more in the last 10 years.
• Certified Translations: Any document not in English must be accompanied by a translation from a certified translator.
