Name Changed from DIA, do I need to update INZ?

[Sackboy]

Hi guys,

I got my official legal name changed from the DIA.

Do I need to update the INZ?

Please advise.

Many thanks,
Sackboy

This is just my thought, nothing official. I think you should tell INZ - yes. And at the same time, probably, you need to think through whether you are going to change your passport(s) to show your new name, as INZ would need to know if the system should show old or new if some airline or immigration check is run on you in the future if you are travelling.

Hi JandM,

Yeah I couldn't find official as well.

I will contact INZ and check with them about this then.

Thank you and have a good one!

Cheers!
