1. Who should we be giving our passports to?
The primary purpose of the New Zealand Passport is to facilitate travel .
We understand that people do use it as a form of identification, but urge
passport holders to exercise caution when providing their passport for this
under
purpose.
For example, it is always good to enquire about how any copies of any of their
identity documents are stored, shared and used when supplying this
information to third parties.
Our advice is for people to keep their passport secure while they are using it,
store it safely away from view when they are not, and never hand it over as a
guarantee.
Additional tips for keeping your passport safe are available from
Released passports.govt.nz/travel-information/ and safetravel.govt.nz/passports-and-
visas.
2. What is your advice to companies who request our passport
information?
The collection, storage and use of passport information should comply with the
provisions of the Privacy Act and companies should take particular care not to
over collect personal information.
The Privacy Act 2020 governs how organisations and businesses can collect,
1982
store, use and share personal information.
The Privacy Act has 13 privacy principles that govern how businesses and
organisations should collect, handle and use personal information.
Act
More information on these principles is available from privacy.org.nz/privacy-
act-2020/privacy-principles/.
If you need more information or advice for companies handling personal
information, please contact the Privacy Commissioner.
We also suggest that businesses investigate other ways of confirming identity
such as a RealMe verified identity.
RealMe makes it easier for people to access and use online services offered by
both government and the private sector. The service has been created to build

trust and confidence by adhering to New Zealand Government security,
identity and privacy legislation.

If passport information has been stolen through hacking, should
you get a new one?

assessed the risk and determined that people do not need to apply for a new
passport.

should be entitled to a new passport are able to get one.

thought - and say that 53,000 passports were taken.
