Dear New Zealand Customs Service,
I have recently separated with my wife, I'm planning to take my son to oversea for a fresh breakaway holiday for a week and then return to New Zealand.
I would like to know how do I find out whether or not my son has a border alert on him? who to contact and what is the procedure to find out?
Yours faithfully,
J

Good morning J
Thank you for your request asking how do you find out whether your son has
a border alert preventing him from being removed from New Zealand.
Customs can provide this information, however we have to ensure that it is
being released to a person who is entitled to it. Customs would therefore
need to sight some form of photographic identification for you and your
son (if intending to travel he would need a passport) such as the
biographical detail (photo) page of the passports. This information can
be copied and emailed to [1][email address].
Regards
Robin O’Connor | Senior Operations Analyst | New Zealand Customs Service |
