The Immigration Advisers Licensing Act 2007 promotes and protects the interests of people receiving immigration advice
The Act & what we do
The Act came into effect in New Zealand on 4 May 2007. It requires Immigration Advisers to be licensed. It also established the Immigration Advisers Authority (“the Authority”) to manage the licensing process for Immigration Advisers, both in New Zealand and offshore.
- We keep a publicly available register of licensed Immigration Advisers
- We administer complaints against licensed advisers and take enforcement action against agents not licensed
- We began accepting licensing applications from 4 May 2008
