Appendix B to OIA2425-0950
Caveats to data set:
- The data was collated on 6 May 2025 and is accurate as at this date.
- Tables with country of birth data have counts of less than 5 masked with <5 to prevent identification of individuals.
- Country of birth is not confirmed until an application has been assessed by a Life and Identity Services Officer (LISO), therefore unassigned application may not have the correct country. This is often the case with people entering
New Zealand as the country of birth mistakenly.
- As data is extracted from dynamic systems, there may be small variances when compared with prior or future datasets.
