Passport
The first New Zealand passport was issued in 1905 to the personal needs of a family that was leaving New Zealand for Scotland for the centenary of a relative. The passport was personally signed by the governor.
Serial production of passports began in 1915 after Great Britain.
In November 2009, the Interior Department released a new version of the biometric passport. The design was developed and produced by a Canadian private company. The new passport cost the New Zealand government USD 100 million over five years. The text in the passport is printed in two languages: English and Maori.
New Zealand also has a temporary passport for emergencies. Due to the remoteness of the country and the inability to quickly end up in New Zealand, you can request a temporary passport, which is valid for a year and costs NZD 350 for 2020.
The Henley & Partners Passport Index ranks New Zealand's passport 7th with visa-free access to 185 countries worldwide.
