About this directory

Under New Zealand law, only a licensed immigration adviser or an exempt person, such as a lawyer with a current practising certificate, may give immigration advice. The Immigration Advisers Authority keeps the official register of licensed advisers, but the register is built for one-name-at-a-time lookups.

immigrationadviser.co.nz turns that register into a directory you can actually browse: advisers by city, businesses and their teams, licence histories, and register-wide statistics, refreshed every month (currently August 2026).

What this site is

• A way to find licensed advisers near you and compare them on verifiable register facts.
• A way to verify that whoever you are dealing with is actually licensed — including people whose licences have lapsed.

What this site is not

This site does not give immigration advice, and listing here is not an endorsement. Ordering is by objective register facts only — see how listings are ordered. Nobody pays to appear or to rank.

The authoritative source is always the IAA public register. If this site and the register disagree, the register wins — and we would like to hear about it via the corrections page.
