Documents you can get from NZQA

How to get extra copies

Documents from your school or tertiary provider

Your school or education provider can help if you need further detail about your completed New Zealand qualifications.

The school or education provider has details such as:

  • programme details
  • practical components
  • syllabuses.

They can also give you an official transcript or document in a different format to those we provide.

Tertiary Education Qualification Statement (TEQS)

Some tertiary providers offer a Tertiary Education Qualification Statement. This is an expanded transcript to help international audiences understand the qualification.

How to verify and authenticate NZ documents

 Some education providers need you to verify or authenticate documents you provide.

This can include:

  • having documents sent directly from NZQA (use the education provider's postal address when you order the document)
  • online verification
  • having documents notarised by a lawyer
  • authentication or apostille from the Department of Internal Affairs.
