Kids NZ passport .? Need to apply for PR
 
Hi
My children have NZ passports (since birth) but were born in the UK.. Their Dad is a kiwi (lived here for 13yrs). We are all returning to live in NZ. Obviuously I need a PR- partnership I think but do I have to do anything for the children?
Thanks;)

No they don't. So long as the Kiwi passports are up to date.

Done.

Your children can move to NZ with NZ passports.

However, once you are in New Zealand, you probably should apply to the Citizenship Office for them to be registered as NZ citizens otherwise than by descent. This protects the status of your future grandchildren if they are also born outside NZ.

Are the children under 16?

There used to be information on the Citizenship website about this, although it seems to have been removed.
