Licence Identification (ID)

Digital licences are available for all licensed immigration advisers. These can be downloaded directly from the Immigration Advisers Authority (IAA) online portal at no cost.

Digital licences

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.

You can only download a digital licence if you have a current licence.

If you apply to renew or upgrade your licence, but your application is not assessed before your licence expiry date, your profile on the public register will display a message that your licence remains current. The QR code on your digital licence links directly to your profile on the public register to confirm this. Alternatively, you can provide clients with a screenshot of the public register alongside your digital licence.

We no longer issue physical licence cards (plastic ID cards or “wallet cards”) and certificates for licensed immigration advisers.

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.

How to get your digital licence certificate

  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. 

Generating a link to your profile on the public register

You can generate a static link so that you can link your profile on the public register:

  • 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 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.
