We have been advised that, because of the impact of Covid - 19 restrictions, the Tertiary Education Commission has approved an alternative process to submitting certified copies of documents required for applications and enrolments.

As an interim process neither Te Pūkenga subsidiaries (Polytechnics) nor universities will require certified copies of the result document. They will get these results directly from NZQA. However, where possible, you should submit a copy of your result documentation, but this does not have to be certified.

In the interim other documents, e.g. passports, birth certificates, do not have to be certified. Instead, you should complete either the Declaration for Te Pūkenga or the Declaration for Universities. Follow the link and make a copy of the relevant document.

Preferably you should complete (note the Te Pūkenga declaration requires the name of the organisation inserted in three places) before you print it off and sign it. Then scan or photograph it so you can include it with your documentation. If this is absolutely not possible you can supply a handwritten document.

This is a formal document. You must ensure that when you are supplying scans or photographs of documents these are clear and legible. Similarly, if you have to provide a handwritten declaration you must ensure that this is legible with nor errors.
