 CERTIFICATION OF DOCUMENTS

If you are not able to provide the original documents in person, or only a copy of the original documents can be provided, the documents must be certified
(or verified by an ANZ Bank staff member, or ANZ Investments approved financial adviser).

WHAT IS A “CERTIFIED COPY”? Example of a correctly certified proof of ID with

photo image
A certified copy is a photocopy of an original document. A person who is authorised to certify
documents, must sight the original and copy in person (not via audio visual link) and make sure both
documents are identical. Any certified documentation you send to us must include the certifier’s full
name, occupation, and be signed and dated by the certifier within the last three months.
If the identification has a photo image, the certifier must state on the copy: “I certify this is a true copy
of the original document, which I have sighted, and it represents a true likeness of the individual”.
If the identification does not have a photo image (e.g. residential address documents), the certifier must
sight the original and state on the copy: “I have sighted the original and certify this is a true copy of
the original document”.
The following persons can certify copies of the originals as true and correct copies:
• New Zealand lawyer
• New Zealand Chartered Accountant
• Notary Public
• Justice of the Peace
• Sworn member of the Police (service not available at all police stations, check before visiting) I, James Black
