The High Commission provides these consular services:

• Provides legal and notarial services.

Only the Department of Internal Affairs passport offices in London, Sydney or New Zealand can issue a passport. A new online passport renewal service is now available.

New Zealand Birth, Marriage or Death Certificates can be obtained directly from the Registrar of Births, Deaths and Marriages.

Before certain New Zealand documents can be used overseas, Document Authentication or apostille certification may be necessary. It is usually required where overseas officials are not able to determine on sight the authenticity of New Zealand documents.

New Zealand Police are often asked for a "Police clearance certificate", especially by people applying for a job overseas. New Zealand Police do not produce "Clearance Certificates" as such, but New Zealand citizens can get a copy of their criminal record from the Ministry of Justice.
