Apostilles in New Zealand
Apostille certification means that a public document is authenticated by the Department of Internal Affairs. This certificate must be affixed to the document at the Authentication Unit at the Department of Internal Affairs in Wellington.
Police clearance or background checks can be sent straight to the Authentication Unit, unless the document is computer generated, in which case it will need to be notarised first by a Notary Public. Please note that these police clearance must be no older than 6 months to be considered.
IMPORTANT NOTE: documents which have been downloaded or are photocopies not on coloured letterhead paper (such as Certificates of Incorporation or Criminal Conviction letters), even if sent to you by the Government Department concerned, do not count as originals and must be notarised before being sent to us, or an original on letterhead requested from the relevant government department.

“Well all I can say is it is like nothing you could ever imagine. I am half way through my year and I could never have imagined all that I would learn and experience. Teaching is great, the kids are sweet (most of the time). Korea has lots to see and do. If you like shopping, climbing or eating this is the place for you! Having gotten on the plane and spent half a year here so far I feel like I can do anything. So what are you waiting for? Get on the plane already!”
