Need to Correct Information on Your Approved NZeTA?

Mistakes can occasionally happen during the application process. If you have already received approval for your NZeTA and later discover that some information is incorrect, our amendment service may be able to assist.

Depending on the type of change required, certain details may be updated without requiring a completely new application. This page explains which information can be corrected, which information cannot be modified, and how to submit an update request.

What Changes Can Be Requested?

The following information may be eligible for correction or amendment after approval has been issued. All requests are subject to review and verification before any changes are processed.

Passport number
Passport issue date
Passport expiry date
Date of birth
Minor spelling corrections
Missing middle names
Additional given names
Typographical errors in names
Email address associated with application
Contact information

Examples of Eligible Corrections

Examples of corrections that can often be processed through our amendment service include:

Incorrect passport number entered by mistake
Passport issue date typed incorrectly
Missing middle name
One or two letters incorrectly entered in the applicant's name
Incorrect email address preventing receipt of notifications
Additional surname omitted accidentally

Which Information Cannot Be Changed?

Certain core identity information cannot be modified once an NZeTA has been issued. These changes would require a new application instead.

Cannot Be Changed:

  • Nationality or citizenship
  • Country of passport issuance where it affects nationality
  • Transfer of NZeTA to another traveler
  • Completely different personal identity information
  • Major changes resulting in different applicant profile

Example

If you submitted an application as a German passport holder but later discover you actually selected United States nationality, this cannot be corrected through an amendment request and a new application would be required.
