FAQs

Frequently asked questions by those applying to register under Trans-Tasman Mutual Recognition Legislation:

Can I pay the registration fee in a currency other than the NZ$?

No. Payment must be in NZ$. Most banks have an international banking service which will be able to assist with this (eg Western Union, HSBC Bank).

Can I pay my registration fee by Credit Card?

Yes. Mastercard and Visa credit cards are accepted.

My employer will pay my registration fee, but wants an invoice from the Board, will the Board issue an Invoice?

No, we do not issue invoices for registration fees, but a receipt will be issued with the letter acknowledging your application

I want to claim the registration fee back from my employer, will I receive a receipt from the Board for my application fee payment?

Yes, the Board will send a receipt very shortly after the application has been received in the Board's office.

Can I practice once I have submitted my TTMR application to the Board?

If all the documentation is in order, under s24 of the Act you are deemed to be registered and can practice, pending registration by the Board. The Board has one month to decide to defer registration if false or misleading information has been supplied; or the applicants circumstances have materially changed since the date of application; or the Board determines that the occupation in which registration is sought is not an equivalent occupation.
