How Official Document Retrieval works in New Zealand
Official Document Retrieval lets residents, businesses and expats order certified originals of records held by public authorities in New Zealand entirely online, in English, English or any other language. Our local runners file the request with the correct registry, archive, court or ministry, collect the certified original once issued by Department of Internal Affairs (Te Tari Taiwhenua), and courier it worldwide with tracking.
Notary7 retrieves every type of official record issued in New Zealand — civil, academic, court, police, corporate, tax and land and can bundle sworn translation, notarization, Hague Apostille or embassy legalization to the same order so the retrieved document is ready to be used both inside New Zealand and abroad. In New Zealand, while some documents may require an Apostille for international use under the Hague Apostille Convention, documents destined for use in countries not part of the convention or those requiring additional checks may still need consular legalization. Notarization acts as a crucial first step, confirming the authenticity of signatures and documents before they proceed for further authentication by the Department of Internal Affairs and, if necessary, the relevant embassy or consulate. Our service ensures documents are correctly prepared according to New Zealand's legal requirements for international acceptance.
