  • Be currently valid i.e. in date (not expired)

  • Be in full colour - we cannot accept black & white documents 

  • Show the full document (i.e. not cropped)

Overview of documentation we may request for manual verification purposes:

  • We may also accept documents issued by NZBN as the two bodies (of NZCO and NZBN) are interlinked within the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment within the NZ government 

The document must display the full limited company name and clearly display the names of the directors. 

All director names should be entered under the ‘Director details’ section of the dashboard.

We can verify whether a company is registered via NZCO here.

We can also verify a NZ registered company by checking their status here.

If the company is not registered (removed), then we will be unable to process payments for organisations in this status and will need to advise the merchant accordingly.
