Application section 10 – Your emergency contact

This information is optional but it’s a good idea to provide the details of someone who can be contacted in emergency situations.

We recommend that you nominate a person who is not likely to be travelling with you. The best plans can be upset by a number of problems. Some are impossible to predict or avoid, so by planning ahead and arming yourself with the right information, you can reduce the risks you might encounter overseas.

Before you travel, you should also go to safetravel.govt.nz and register your travel plans. While you’re there, check the travel advisories for countries you are travelling to.

When will we use your emergency contact?

• If you have an accident, become sick or are involved in an incident while you are travelling overseas.
• Passport offices overseas, New Zealand Embassies, High Commissions and Consulates can obtain your emergency information by request.
