Tçnâ koe W,

I have consulted with the Ministry of Business Innovation and Employment (regarding Immigration NZ, which is part of that Ministry) and am advised that you should notify a marital status change if it occurs, as this is relevant for visa applications. Please contact Immigration NZ directly to do this.

Subject: Official Information request - When and what department do I need to update my marital status to?

Dear Department of Internal Affairs,

I applied to immigrate to New Zealand in 2018 and my marital status at that time is legally separated. I went to NZ and got my resident visa in 2020. My marital status in my original country changed to divorced after that. May I ask do I need to update my marital status and what department should I contact with? INZ or DIA or others? Thanks a lot.

Yours faithfully,
W
