Emergency Travel Document
Emergency TravelIf you are in New Zealand, Australia or the United KingdomYou should submit an urgent passport application to the nearest New Zealand Passport Office. Please complete the application for a New Zealand Passport form that corresponds to the location where you intend to submit the application. You can contact the Passport Office by phone if you require urgent assistance. Do not use the ETD form for applications lodged in New Zealand, Australia or the United Kingdom. If you are overseas In all other locations where the need to travel is urgent, you can apply for an ETD at the nearest New Zealand Embassy, Consulate or High Commission. If your need to travel is not urgent, you should apply to the nearest New Zealand Passport Office for a full validity passport. Travel to or through United States of America From 1 July 2009 all holders of New Zealand Emergency Travel Documents travelling to or transiting through the USA will require a non-immigrant visa class B1 or B2 from the USA authorities. USA Customs & Border Protection may exercise discretion at ports of entry if you are travelling for medical or other emergency reasons but you may be detained for further processing and/or denied admission. Emergency Travel Document (ETD)New Zealand overseas posts (Embassies, Consulates and High Commissions) no longer issue New Zealand passports. This facility has been replaced by the issuance of the Emergency Travel Document (ETD).The ETD is a short-term, machine-readable travel document issued to New Zealanders overseas, in emergency and compassionate situations when they need to travel and do not have a valid passport. They are issued so the applicant can travel as planned. As an ETD is not a principal travel document, the expectation is that ETD holders apply for a new passport at the earliest opportunity. In terms of validity, ETDs are issued for a specific period of up to 7 months validity. Please note: To be eligible for an ETD you must have previously held a New Zealand passport. The ETD fee includes the cost of a new full-validity replacement passport. To receive your replacement passport, you must submit a completed passport application form to a New Zealand Passport Office (New Zealand, Sydney or London) before the expiry date of the ETD. Please include your ETD and two new passport photos with your application. If your application is received after the expiry of the ETD, then a full passport application fee is required.
