Trading ID requirements

As a customer selling articles to a secondhand dealer you will need to supply your:

• Full name;
• Contact address;
• Contact phone number; and
• Date of birth.

You will need to be able to confirm your identity by providing acceptable photographic ID.

In addition, you will have to sign the "dealers record" of the transaction.

There are only a limited number of acceptable forms of photographic ID. These are:

• a current passport
• a current New Zealand driver licence or a current overseas driver licence that contains a photograph
• any current document containing a photograph that is issued for purposes of identification by the New Zealand Government
• any document referred to in the three points above that has expired, but only if it expired less than 2 years before the date on which it is being used as identification:
• a current 18+ card issued by the Hospitality Association of New Zealand
• a current document issued by a New Zealand secondary or composite school that contains a photo and is issued for the purpose of identifying the student.

In addition to ID requirements, you need to be 16 years of age or older to trade second-hand goods within New Zealand.
