The regulator confirms that the Kiwi Access Card, launched by Hospitality NZ in January 2019, holds the same status under the Identity Verification Code of Practice as the previous 18+ card. This designation classifies the card as a secondary or supporting form of photographic identification that must be used alongside a primary non-photographic document. Reporting entities retain the responsibility to ensure the reliability of this ID and must recognize that the card does not meet the standards of a New Zealand Driver Licence or Passport.
