Home educating caregivers can get an Educator ID Card to use as evidence of homeschooling. Some providers require confirmation of homeschooling status for caregivers to access curriculum materials or discounts. For a Student ID card, please see here.
NCHENZ offers this service only for members educating children who have a current exemption certificate from the Ministry of Education.
Cards expire the 31st of the following March.
If you require your card within a specific timeframe please discuss this with the ID Cards Co-ordinator (email idcards@nchenz.org.nz). See additional fee under ‘Cost’ for express processing as well as the postage options for overnight courier delivery.
