Two different kinds of verification are involved here. NZQA assesses the qualification and states what NZ qualification it would be equivalent to, and what level. Then the CO will verify, by asking the place that granted the qualification, that Mr Hmlamie, born on the date you told them, did INDEED attend their course and get their degree or certificate - in other words, they are making sure that you have not forged the certificate, or that it's not a real certificate but someone else has stolen it and subsituted the name.
