Explanatory note

This note is not part of the regulations, but is intended to indicate their general effect.

These regulations, which come into force on 5 January 2023, amend the Electronic Identity Verification Regulations 2013.

These regulations authorise Ezsy Limited, Remitly NZ Limited, The Independent Mortgage Company Limited, and Web 3 Limited to use the Electronic Identity Verification Service (as described in section 55 of the Electronic Identity Verification Act 2012).

They also extend the duration period of an electronic identity credential from 5 years to 10 years. This new duration period applies only to an electronic identity credential that is issued or renewed after these regulations come into force. Any electronic identity credential that is issued or renewed before these regulations come into force remains effective for 5 years.

An example of an electronic identity credential is a RealMe verified identity.

Issued under the authority of the Legislation Act 2019.
