Do my documents need to be certified for a New Zealand company?

Not for the Companies Office filing, which uses the details and online consents of each director and shareholder. We verify your passport and address proof during KYC, and banks may ask for certified copies. New Zealand applies the Apostille Convention, so an apostille is usually enough when a foreign document must be legalised.
