If your name has changed since your last passport was issued, you’ll have to apply for a new passport. You can apply for a passport online if your name was changed within New Zealand. 

You can change the name in your new passport if your name was changed by:

• marriage or civil union
• deed poll or statutory declaration.

You only need to provide original name change documents if your name was changed outside of NZ or in some special circumstances.
