Transfer to a KiwiSaver scheme

Providing proof of identity
We have stringent verification procedures in place to protect your super, which is why we need to verify your identity before
we can transfer your super to a KiwiSaver scheme.
You will need to take a photocopy of one of your identification documents and have it certified. Types of identification
documents we can accept include:
• a current Australian or foreign photo driver’s licence (both sides)
• a current identity card or Proof of Age card
• an Australian passport (that did not expire more than two years ago); or
• a current foreign passport that shows your photo and signature
For a full list of types of
identification documents we
can accept, as well as who
can certify your documents,
read the Providing proof of
identity fact sheet (available
from our website or by calling
Member Services).
How to certify your documents
The person certifying the document must compare the photocopy to the original to ensure that both
documents are identical. They must then certify each page as a true copy by writing or stamping ‘true and
correct copy of the original’ followed by their signature, printed name, qualification or occupation and date.
