Getting your IRD number

An IRD number is your New Zealand tax department number and comes in the form XXX-XXX-XXX.  Applying for an IRD number should be one of the first things you think about after arriving in New Zealand. This is a unique number to you and will never change, even if you move to another country and then return to New Zealand some time in the future.

You can apply for an IRD number via the Inland Revenue website.
