Check the individual adviser before paying
Our directory is independent of the Immigration Advisers Authority. Use it to form a shortlist, then check the current official record. A company name or a directory listing does not establish that a particular person currently holds the right licence.
| Check | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Name and licence number | Match the individual, not just the company or a similar name. |
| Current status and scope | Full, provisional and limited licences have different scopes. Check conditions or supervision in the official record. |
| Services and fees | Ask for a written scope, fees and who will handle your matter before signing. |
Licensing generally applies to New Zealand immigration advice given inside or outside the country, with exemptions. Read the IAA’s explanation of who can give advice and guide to licence types and checking the register. These guidance sources were reviewed on 19 October 2026; that date is not a fresh licence check of every directory profile.
Follow the adviser verification guide · Browse NZ advisers and cities. Compare documented services and ask about relevant experience; language, location and registration do not guarantee an application outcome.
