Licence Identification (ID)

Digital licences are a simple way to verify your identity as a licensed immigration adviser. If someone asks to see evidence of your licence, you must show them.

From 24 February 2025, digital licences will be available for all licensed immigration advisers. These can be downloaded directly from the new Immigration Advisers Authority (IAA) online portal at no cost.  

You will only be able to download a digital licence if you have a current and active licence.

If you do not have a current physical licence card or certificate, and are unable to download a digital licence, you can provide clients with a screenshot of your current public profile on the IAA register. This will meet the requirement under clause 14 of the Code of Conduct.

To get a copy of your digital licence:

  1. Log into the Immigration Advisers portal. This will bring you to your Dashboard.
  2. Under the My portfolio tab on the right of the screen, select your licence.
  3. In your licence details page, click the Certificates and Extracts drop-down box, then select the Download certificate option. This will download a copy of your digital licence to your computer. 

Note

Your digital licence is proof that you are a licensed immigration adviser. As with any form of identification, do not let other people use your licence.

Generating a link to your adviser page

You can generate a static link so that you can link to your adviser page:

  • Use this base URL: https://app.mbieregisters.govt.nz/iaa/ext/adviser/view/
  • Then, add your licence number to the end of the link.

Example: If your licence number is 201000100, your adviser page link will be: https://app.mbieregisters.govt.nz/iaa/ext/adviser/view/201000100

This link is static and can be shared with clients, colleagues, or included in your email signature and website.

Physical licence cards and certificates

As of February 2025, we no longer issue physical licence cards (plastic ID cards or “wallet cards”) and certificates for registered immigration advisers.

If you have a current plastic ID card and certificate, you may continue using this until it expires.
