About NSNs
NSNs are unique numbers given to every student in New Zealand.
You need your NSN to access the MyNZQA learners portal
Schools, tertiary providers and NZQA use your NSN to keep track of your academic records.
How we use your NSN
There are laws covering how NZQA and other authorised users can use your NSN.
Authorised users include the Ministry of Education and education providers, such as schools, universities and wānanga.
You can use or share your NSN for any purpose. Authorised users can only use or share your NSN for limited purposes.
These purposes include sharing accurate, up-to-date information about individual students with other authorised users.
